Gourmet Asturian Fusion Dinner in Gijón: Wine-Paired Tasting Menu

Taste Asturian tradition remade: four courses, three wines, the chef talking you through each one.

A gourmet dinner at La Pipa in Gijón pairs a full Asturian fusion menu with select wines and the chef's live commentary. You eat four courses over two hours (apple gazpacho, smoked sardine sobao, a Thai-inspired roll and ginger ice cream with fig and jalapeño jam) each dish explained as you taste it. Children from age 3 are welcome. The restaurant sits in the natural setting of Somió.

The experience

Two hours at La Pipa means four courses built around Asturian flavors with a modern twist. You start with apple gazpacho with codium oil, move into a sobao layered with smoked sardine, eggplant cream and pepper jam, then a pretty Thai roll with puffed rice, and finish with ginger ice cream paired with fig and jalapeño jam. The chef walks you through each dish as it arrives, explaining the ingredients and the thinking behind the combinations. Three wines come paired to complement the menu, plus water and bread throughout.

The restaurant itself sits in Somió, a neighborhood that gives the meal its setting. This is not a tour of the city or a cooking class. You arrive, sit, and eat while someone who built the menu tells you what you're tasting and why. The froth of afuega l pitu cheese appears as one of the standout moments, a local cheese turned into something unexpected. The whole thing unfolds over the two hours without rushing.
