Casa Gerardo

The fabada, a slow-cooked bean stew that has anchored this menu across five generations, tells you everything about what Casa Gerardo is. It's a Michelin-starred Asturian restaurant outside Oviedo where the family still runs the room and the kitchen, and the balance between old recipes and new ideas feels like a long argument that both sides are winning. The tasting menus are the move; the wine pairings make it a long, unhurried afternoon.
