Parador de Fuente Dé Restaurant

The dining room of the Parador de Fuente Dé is at the end of the Camaleño road, a few steps from the lower cable-car station, inside the Picos de Europa National Park. If you go up in the morning, you eat here without going down to Potes. It is open to the public, not only to parador guests.

Spoon dishes, cheeses and mountain meat

The menu is Liébana and mountain cooking. The district's dish, the cocido lebaniego, shares the stage with other homemade spoon dishes, a board of Liébana cheeses and local veal. On the menu Paradores publishes there are:

• pickled free-range cockerel salad;
• sirloin with Tresviso cheese, one of the blue cheeses of the Picos;
• cod Montañesa-style and hake on the spit;
• rabas, to share in the middle;
• veal chop.

Paradores does not publish on its website the price of each dish or the serving hours: ask when you book.

Closed from 22 December to 23 February

The parador closes from 22 December 2026 to 23 February 2027, and the restaurant closes with it. Outside those dates, book at [email protected] or on 942 736 651, especially in summer and on long weekends.

Bear in mind too the cable car: from 16 November 2026 it is closed for works for a few weeks.

The cable car's two cafés

At the cable car itself there are two Cantur cafés: one at the lower station, with 200 seats, and another at the top, at El Cable, with 150, next to the viewpoint. Cantur does not publish its menu; for sitting down to eat from a menu, the parador's dining room. Check they are open while the works last.
