Las Redes Restaurant

Las Redes opened in 1994 beside San Vicente's old quay, on Avenida de los Soportales, the street of arches that runs through the town. The family that runs it has been in hospitality since 1981 and each member has their own role: Susana cooks and makes the desserts daily; José buys and prepares the fish and shellfish; Pedro is the sommelier, and Marian runs the dining room. It has several dining rooms and a terrace under the arcades.

José and the three fish markets

The fish is wild and José chooses it at three fish markets along the coast: San Vicente, Bustio and Llanes, the latter two already in Asturias. That is why there is no fixed list: depending on what has come in, they will have turbot, monkfish, sea bream or king fish, often in large pieces. Ask what is available that day and how many people each piece serves before you order.

Sorropotún and the off-menu dishes

Rice dishes are the speciality of Susana's kitchen. Off the menu, depending on the season, you will find sorropotún, the seafarers' stew of Cantabrian tuna that Michelin singles out as the house's most distinctive dish, as well as cod tripe, Tudela vegetables and baby squid caught on a line. The desserts are homemade, of the day.

A cellar of more than 250 wines

Pedro keeps a list of more than 250 wines, which Michelin mentions among the house's features. If you do not know what to order with the fish, take advice at the table.

Opening times

Dinner only on Friday and Saturday. Book by phone on 942 712 542 or at [email protected]: the restaurant handles its own reservations. Michelin places it in its middle price band, with two euro symbols; the website does not publish prices.

Getting there on foot

It is within walking distance of the Puebla Vieja and the harbour: park outside the centre and walk in. With a dog, terrace only. It has air conditioning and accepts cards.
