Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Está siendo este un verano de agradables descubrimientos gastronómicos, como el de esta sidrería. Local amplio y agradable, con un patio exterior perfecto para comer al aire libre. Carta extensa, además de menús, raciones abundantes, buen producto y bien cocinado y a unos precios acordes con lo que se oferta. La verdad es que disfrutamos de una comida fabulosa que suplió con creces que tuviéramos que esperar un buen rato hasta que empezaran a llegar los platos. Pero el homenaje mereció, y mucho, la pena. Personal muy atento."
"Especialidad en pescados y mariscos pero yo resaltaría su pulpo de pedreru. Menú del pulpo, del cachopo y jornadas de cordero a la estaca"
"Comimos seis personas y salimos muy contentos. Optamos por dos menús de arroz que llevaban croquetas de bacalao, zamburiñas y arroz de pulpo (excepcional con pulpo local. Bien es cierto que es un sabor más fuerte y distinto que lo normal pero estaba muy rico para mí gusto). El otro menú fue más de carne con jamón ibérico de centro (muy bueno y bien cortado) y dos cachopos (el de cecina con queso peral espectacular). Éstos menús llevaban bebida y postres caseros muy bueno también. De previo total han sido 184 euros para 6 personas con cafés, más que correcto para la calidad y cantidad que en éste local se trabaja."
"This is a local gem where you will find only locals and savvy or well accompanied tourists. Service was spectacular and food is delicious. Come and try fresh navajas and fish, pulpin done in the same manner as hundreds of years ago, and fabada like no other. Definitely a wonderful place that is lively and family friendly!"
"la comida muy buena , rica y de calidad. el servicio del camarero de nuestra mesa ...pesimo, nos fastidio la comida desde el minuto 1. las almejas muy ricas pero con el precio que tienen .... 1 venia cerrada y eso no se debe de servir... el camarero era para despedirlo. que pena que por un mal camarero no vallamos a volver...."
"El Piquerón es el lugar perfecto para disfrutar de una experiencia gastronómica auténtica en Gijón. Desde el primer momento se respira cercanía y calidez. La atención al cliente es excepcional y te hacen sentir como en casa. La cocina es pura tradición: pescados frescos cocinados a la perfección, arroces y platos caseros que recuerdan a la mejor cocina asturiana. El ambiente es agradable y acogedor, ideal para disfrutar de la buena mesa. Y si vas en hora punta, mejor reserva. Cinco estrellas sin duda: calidad, sabor, trato y precio: todo suma"
"A new place for us to try, with good reviews. Everyone's raving about their cordero a la estaca and it was really good...yummy to our tummy. Almost every table ordered the same thing and with Sidra, of course. Service was good too. We'll definitely go back!"
"Op 800m van Hotel Los Campones, hebben we eergisteren een parel ontdekt: ontzettend vriendelijke gastheer, genoten van een heerlijk diner (calamares en pulpo) Menukaart was ook beschikbaar in het Engels. We waren te vroeg en hebben eerst een apero gedronken in het café tussen de locals."
