About Sidrería Yaya
Sidrería Yaya is a small, owner-run restaurant in central Oviedo serving traditional Asturian food cooked like home cooking from decades past. The space is tight and welcoming — reviewers call it 'small but cosy' — and it fills up fast because the kitchen doesn't cut corners. You'll find croquetas, chipirones encebollados (squid in onions), chorizo a la sidra, and a grandmother's cake that reviewers rank among the best they've eaten. The owner works the room himself, and staff move with genuine warmth rather than script. Portions arrive generous. Everyone who walks in seems to leave planning their return visit. At €20–30 per head, you're eating proper Asturian cooking in the city centre without the tourist markup.
What Stands Out
Food that tastes like home cooking from another era
Reviewers describe 'comida casera exquisita' (exquisite home cooking) and 'comida como las de antaño' (food like the old days). One diner singled out 'la tarta de la abuela' (grandmother's cake) as among the best they'd ever eaten. Every single dish mentioned — croquetas, chipirones encebollados, chorizo a la sidra — drew praise for being 'súper rico' (super delicious) with 'raciones abundantes' (generous portions).
Owner-run service that actually notices you're there
Reviewers consistently praise 'atención inmejorable' (impeccable attention), 'trato amable, cercano y atento' (warm, close, attentive treatment), and 'el dueño encantador' (the charming owner). One group of 8 noted the owner's personal touch was as important as the food itself.
Central location without the central-location prices
Reviewers highlight it's 'en el centro de Oviedo' (in the centre of Oviedo) yet describe the food and value as exceptional. At €20–30, you're eating Asturian cooking in the city centre without premium markup.
