Summer in Gijón is already working its magic: endless days on San Lorenzo beach, strolls along the promenade with the Cantabrian breeze, and that irresistible desire to extend the day sharing moments with friends or family. When we think of holidays or summer plans in our city, lively terraces, walks along the coast, and, of course, unforgettable cuisine immediately come to mind.
There’s a common misconception that hearty dishes don’t go well with the heat. However, those of us who enjoy the authentic atmosphere of Gijón know perfectly well that there’s no better summer plan than sitting down to savor a good meal together after a day at the beach. In this context, the cachopo reigns supreme as the undisputed star of the summer season on the coast.
At La Taberna Asturiana, we’ve transformed this culinary gem into the epicenter of your best sunny days in Gijón, offering a menu designed to win over your palate and turn any meal into an unforgettable experience.
Why is cachopo the ideal choice for your summer days at the coast?
Enjoying food in Gijón during July and August has its own rules: we seek out sociable, informal, and delicious experiences, and above all, authentic ones. The cachopo more than fulfills each of these requirements for reasons that go far beyond its spectacular flavor.
The perfect ending to a day at the beach
Summer in Gijón is synonymous with reunions, swims in the sea, and leisurely strolls. Thanks to its generous size, the cachopo is the perfect dish to place in the center of the table, gather your loved ones, and enjoy those long, leisurely after-dinner conversations typical of Gijón, where you glance at the clock with complete tranquility.
The quintessential summer pairing
Is there anything more refreshing to combat the coastal heat than a perfectly chilled, freshly poured natural cider from our cider house? The crispy, juicy cachopo finds its perfect balance with the freshness and character of our star beverage, creating an essential combination to truly experience the essence of the city.
The energy to make the most of Gijón’s nights
After a sunny morning in San Lorenzo, exploring the historic corners of Cimavilla, or discovering the viewpoints of Santa Catalina Hill, your body craves a reward worthy of the occasion. Our cachopo gives you all the energy you need to continue the day strong and make the most of every minute of the northern summer.
The secrets of our summer recipe in Gijón: crispy, light and tasty
For a traditional dish to be truly appealing, even on the hottest summer days, its execution in the kitchen must be impeccable. It’s not just about frying, but about achieving the perfect harmony between intense flavor, flawless texture, and lightness.
In our restaurant’s kitchen, we meticulously oversee every step to guarantee you an exceptional culinary experience:
Premium Beef Selection: We work exclusively with select cuts of the highest quality beef, tender and lean, ensuring a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Balanced and Flavorful Filling: We fuse the character of Serrano ham with the creaminess of carefully selected artisan cheeses to achieve a luscious, well-integrated, and perfectly cooked interior.
Crispy Breading and Impeccable Frying: The key to a perfect cachopo lies in its exterior finish. We achieve an extremely crispy golden breading that retains all the juiciness inside, completely avoiding excess fat to offer you a much more pleasant digestion during the summer.
