Head to this renowned white-tablecloth restaurant and meeting spot on one of Oviedo’s main thoroughfares for cachopo, a heart-stopping fried veal cutlet stuffed with ham and cheese—an Asturian speciality. If you prefer something a bit lighter, there are salads, fresh fish, and meat dishes. The bar on the ground floor does a roaring trade all day long in sandwiches and light snacks.

Head to La Corte de Pelayo, a sophisticated spot on the corner of Campo de San Francisco park, renowned for its hearty cachopos – huge veal fillets layered with ham and cheese, then coated in bread crumbs and deep fried. They also serve excellent Fabada Asturiana – the dish that defines the region – a thick, rich and hearty stew made from white beans simmered with chunks of ham, chorizo and black pudding.

One of my favorite places to sit and people-watch is La Corte, an old-style Spanish bar with dark wood and high ceilings. There are chairs outside where you can sit and enjoy a glass of wine as the sun goes down. Little plates of tortilla are constantly replenished, for no extra cost other than the tip at the end, but it’s often so good that you’ll end up staying and ordering a whole load of tapas.

I swap cider for wine at La Corte de Pelayo, a restaurant in central Oviedo, tasting a white by Siluvio and a red by Monasterio de Corias, both local wineries. With views of the Asturias parliament and Plaza de la Escandalera, this classic spot offers traditional cuisine, thoughtful preparation and local produce ranging from fish such as alfonsino (red bream) and pixín (monkfish) to cachopo.

Este es otro restaurante familiar, en este caso con una trayectoria de más de 20 años. Y parece que les ha ido bien, tal y como demuestran las críticas y el equipo de 50 personas que ya trabaja en La Corte de Pelayo. En la actualidad, se sitúa al frente del negocio la segunda generación, que ha mamado la profesión y la continúa con la ambición de superarse cada día.

This was the restaurant we were most excited to try in Oviedo. They serve different types of meat and seafood dishes made with the freshest ingredients, but perhaps the one thing they’re best known for is their fabada Asturiana. Fabada is one of the most well-known Asturian dishes and La Corte de Pelayo was a finalist in the 2018 Fabada World Championships.

With priceless views of Oviedo, in the best corner of the city, La Corte de Pelayo restaurant stands as a landmark in Asturian territory. In the center of the capital, next to the most emblematic buildings of the city, you will enjoy the best market cuisine with Asturian products. Don't miss the Cachopo Pelayo, winner of the I Asturias Championship.

It’s lunchtime and I’ve been tipped off that I’ll find one of the region’s most celebrated dishes at La Corte de Pelayo. Lucky that I booked ahead, as it seems I’m not the only one to have received the intel. In fact, it’s there on the menu for all to see – the winners of the best cachopo in Asturias.

A highly recommended place to try any of these dishes is La Corte de Pelayo Restaurant. Their fabada has been a finalist multiple times in the fabada competition, and their cachopo has won the best cachopo award with a recipe from 1947.

A tangy sheep’s cheese also makes its way into cachopo – breaded veal fillets served in daunting portions the size of solar panels – at venerable parkside restaurant La Corte de Pelayo.

The restaurant offers expansive views over the Asturian parliament and Plaza de la Escandalera, as well as ‘traditional cuisine, thoughtful preparation and local produce’.

La Corte de Pelayo: in this restaurant you will have a varied menu, including the famous cachopos (a couple of veal steaks with ham and cheese among them).
