Labuenavida Fomento - Gijón

The location is really good and you expect a better place, but the food needs to be improved quite a lot, and the attention as well.

My husband and I stopped for a gin and tonic when we saw they specialised in gin. The location is beautiful with a sea view and very comfortable seating outdoors. We sat for a while before someone came to take our order two gin and tonics. There were a few groups of people mixed ages sitting around.A party of five mature adults came in. They seemed to be local. Their order was taken and their drinks arrived promptly they appeared to have ordered gin also. Waitress came with the bottle and poured generously beautiful goblet shaped glass,lots of ice etc. Our drinks eventually arrived. No ceremony, no pouring of gin. Gin and tonic already poured. I love a nice G T and this certainly lacked gin. We started to drink and all of a sudden the waitress came with our bill. Felt we were being asked to leave. It was the first time in our week of travelling round northern spain that we were asked to pay the bill after getting served. We normally have a second drink two drinks cost €14. A very disappointing gin experience. Would never go back there again.

A very nice, trendy and modern place which you expect in a metropolitan city. The food is really great and very friendly staff. We had a lunch and came back for dinner. We had gambas as a 'primero '. These were as fresh and can be and tasted very good. Also the main dishes were amazing. As postre I had a heavenly chocolate mousse. It was cojonudo !! The cook even came to our table to ask how things were. If you want to have Spanish food with a modern twist, you should go here. If you like more traditional style, this might not be your cup of tea. We would certainly come back here! By the way, it is mentioned as an attraction on tripadvisor but for us it was a restaurant bar....
