La Huerta - Gijón

The services can best be described as un friendly. No attempt was made to explain the menu in English. The vegetables were however, nicely cooked.

My wife and I visited some resident family in Gijón recently and ate in several restaurants that we had eaten in on a previous visit and one that was new to us. The new one, La Huerta on the Camino de la Frontera near the University, was a real find for lunch. Imagine a three course lunch including one glass of good quality wine for €9! The day was fine and sunny and we were able to eat out of doors. It was a very pleasant and we were able to eat out of doors. Well I am pleased to report that it was a good, satisfying lunch of excellent quality. It is simple Asturian food and very well cooked and simply presented with good quality bread and uncomplicated local but highly palatable wine. The starter was a chick-pea stew with blood sausages of different type and included vegetables and some ham hocks in a thick broth. It was quite delicious and I could (and should) have made this my main meal. However this was only the starter! We then had the fried chicken with potato chips. The chicken again was of good quality and was tender and tasty and lightly fried in thin slices. The chips however were a bit of a let down. They were limp and not at all crisply as I would have expected. This was the only disappointment in what was otherwise a good satisfying culinary experience. Desert was melon served just on its own and did not need further embellishment. The fruit stood on its own without any need of further support. One of our party had a cod dish for main course which was also favourably commented upon. Now this is certainly not haute cuisine nor does it pretend to be. It is simple folk food, plainly served without any fuss and, to add to our enjoyment, the waitress we had was efficient and charming. What more does one need?

Un buen lugar para comer el menú o el plato. buena atención y buena calidad tanto de comida como de tratamiento personal. Si tengo que poner algo negativo, hacer una recomendación personal que les hago, es que tienen más trona disponible. Fue algo que nos sorprendió preguntar si tenían un trueno, nos dijeron si tenían uno para ver si estaba disponible, por suerte lo era. Por lo tanto, una recomendación personal es que tienen más laguna, ya que ahora es bastante común para las personas comer con bebés y hacer uso de los pantalones. motivo que no resta calidad al lugar. repetiremos seguro.

Un merendero con una bonita decoración y buen trato. la comida muy bien en general. el menos goteo eran las gabardinas. los calamares y las hamburguesas muy bien. para destacar la parrilla de puerros con salsa rhomesque en temporada, muy bueno! el pastel de plátano era bueno pero nuestra gota estaba metida con canela, lo que ya no nos da más. No arruines la sidra. Volveremos.

El lugar ideal, tranquilo, cómodo y hermoso, excelente comida, calidad precio muy recomendado. la crema de verduras y las croquetas son deliciosas
