Although Ribadesella doesn't have a long tradition of cider production, it has become a major player in cider consumption, like few other towns on the Cantabrian coast. The success of its gatherings centered around this Asturian beverage stems from the unique atmosphere in its cider houses, which always offer the highest quality cider , perfect for enjoying conversation, tapas, and menus steeped in seafood tradition. Local fish and the town's recipes, carefully cultivated over decades, are a sure bet for anyone with an appetite.


Many establishments such as El Campanu , the cider house La Guía , El Puerto , La Portiella or El Prau de Tereñes (which we will talk about shortly) have managed to preserve the essence of Ribadesella's cuisine as a treasure and, at the same time, enhance their own meritorious gastronomy with the best cider in the region.

Cider houses are plentiful throughout the municipality, though primarily in the capital. The prestige of these meeting places is evident in the extraordinary atmosphere found inside. With the arrival of warmer weather, the charm of these establishments becomes even more palpable, as the terraces offer an extension of the ambiance, more cider, conversation, and delicious food.

The route in the urban area

In the port of Ribadesella, you'll find the El Campanu seafood restaurant . Its owner is passionate about local cuisine; his establishment offers top-quality fresh fish and shellfish , mostly caught in Ribadesella and other Asturian ports. Sea bass, clams, monkfish, hake, sea bream… all accompanied by a good cider.

Also at the mouth of the estuary we find the Sidrería El Puerto , a traditional establishment in the town whose specialty is seafood and fish from the local fish market, with its seal of quality, also offering a wide assortment of typical tapas from Ribadesella and rice dishes.

Just steps from the port, opposite the bridge that crosses the estuary, you'll find La Guía cider house , a welcoming and traditional establishment offering excellent tapas and perfectly cooked meats and fish. It's currently one of the most popular restaurants in Ribadesella, and its outdoor patio is the perfect place to enjoy the finest Asturian cider.

The route in the surroundings

In the beautiful village of Tereñes , we find two other restaurants:

With extraordinary views of the rocky outcrops and the Cantabrian Sea, the La Portiella cider house offers an unparalleled atmosphere. Enjoy a selection of excellent cider poured in the sunny garden, accompanied by delicious tapas such as sardines, octopus, or pantrucu , a dish originating from Ribadesella and a cousin of traditional black pudding. Their oven-baked fish is also renowned , prepared quickly from the sea to the table with a unique flavor. A visit is highly recommended for both the views and the excellent food.

At El Prau de Tereñes, you can also enjoy good cider, either in the sun on their terrace or in their indoor dining rooms . They serve a variety of grilled meats , which are not common in the area, and delicious fish from the Cantabrian Sea, all topped off with delightful homemade desserts.
