There are many places to eat in the old-town, both indoors and in small secluded squares such as El Fontán or Trascorrales, to name just two. Down calle Gascona you will be able to get a decent set menu for around â¬10. The set menu menú del dÃa may not be on the menu you are given, so you may have to ask.
Typical dishes of Oviedo are those common to all of Asturias. The Fabada Asturiana is a bean stew with a reputation all over Spain that is worth trying maybe not in the evening!. Fish and shellfish are of great quality. A local cheese, cabrales, also has an excellent reputation, especially if you like strong flavours. Less known are the gamoneu and casin cheeses. Asturias also has a tradition for rice pudding arroz con leche.
