Casa Fermín

Talking about Asturian haute cuisine forces us to stop in Oviedo. On the emblematic Calle San Francisco, Casa Fermín is a centuries-old institution and the pioneer of signature cuisine in the region: it was the first restaurant in all of Asturias to achieve a Michelin star.Although today it does not have that distinction, its reputation remains intact thanks to an impeccable technique that unites traditional Asturian recipes with avant-garde sophistication.

Its proposal combines elegance, a product of closeness and a deep family tradition. The menu pays tribute to the local pantry: fresh Cantabrian fish, seafood, native meats and vegetables from the garden, with a filter of modernity that respects the essence of the ingredient.The pastry is artisanal and the wine list is outstanding, with great national and international vintages.

It is in the monumental and pedestrian heart of Oviedo, a few meters from the historic university building and the Campo de San Francisco. Its interior design combines classic majesty with modern elements, in a comfortable and quiet environment.

For me it is an essential stop to understand the high table in Oviedo.
