Casa Fermín

Casa Fermín is a tablecloth restaurant in Oviedo with a century of history: it was founded by Fermín García in 1924, in the Fontán area, and has been on calle San Francisco, beside the park of the same name, since 1983. In between it spent more than forty years in El Cristo and, in 1974, received the first Michelin star awarded in Asturias. Today it is run by the Martínez-Gil family: Luis Alberto Martínez, María Jesús Gil and their son Guillermo Martínez.

From El Cristo to calle San Francisco

It is a restaurant with table service, a quiet dining room and private rooms for group or business meals, the kind chosen for a celebration or a long working lunch. It is not the place for a quick standing cider: for that there is calle Gascona. It is five minutes on foot from the cathedral and two from the Campo de San Francisco.

The November menu, with prices

The cooking starts from the Asturian recipe and updates it with current technique, local produce and a menu that changes every season. Game in season, and fish and seafood, are the house signatures. On the November 2026 menu, VAT included:

• Starters: Asturian fabada with its compango, €24; Iberian ham croquettes, €16; rice with octopus, €26; anchovies with Afuega'l Pitu cheese cream, €26; lobster Russian salad, €45.
• Fish: hake with tomato pisto, €30; monkfish (pixín) with cider sauce, €38; cod and brandade, €30.
• Meat: Asturian veal sirloin, €30; confit suckling pig, €32; grilled Bresse pigeon with vegetables, €32.
• The bread service, buckwheat and country loaf, is charged separately: €2.50.

The tasting menu costs €90 per person, for the whole table and without the wine pairing: thirteen courses that in November run from the gilda and the ají oyster to the hake, the sirloin and an iced Gamonéu cheese tart with ice cider. For dessert, the house has its own brand of casadielles, the Asturian sweet, the CasadiellesFermín, which can also be ordered.

The cellar has more than 400 Spanish and international wines, with a sommelier who also chooses the ciders.

Monday lunchtime only, closed Sunday

The Michelin Guide lists it as open Tuesday to Saturday from 13:30 to 15:30 and from 21:00 to 23:30, and on Monday at midday only; it closes on Sunday. Book on its website or on 985 216 452 or 985 216 497. Pets are not allowed.

If you are sleeping nearby, the Hotel de la Reconquista is beside the same San Francisco park. For a Sunday, when it is closed here, the plan Sunday in Oviedo ends with cider on Gascona.
