9 reviews of Casa Cofiño Restaurant

The reputation is well-deserved

Excellent

This restaurant in Caviedes has been attracting plenty of visitors to taste their homemade delicacies. Given that the tourist offices in the area are closed on weekends, we asked some people in Cabezon de la Sal where we could eat and they recommended this restaurant.

The property is in a typical rural house, easily recognizable by the large number of cars parked at the gate which is striking given the small size of this town. The patio of the house, located at the entrance, has been used as a terrace for outdoor dining. From here one can access the bar, which is also a small convenience store and grocery, and in front the living room. The entire decor is rustic, combining wood touches with the thick stone walls of the country house.


It was Sunday and the place was packed with people and had a waiting list of about two hours to eat. We were lucky and somehow we were seated within 10 minutes at a table on the terrace. It’s a traditional restaurant run by the Cofiño family and has been open more than 40 years. The menu is based on the typical home-cooking of the region, and its "star" dishes are mountain stew, grilled beef, the skillets of eggs, potatoes, and various other ingredients, goat, tripe, chorizo hash, black pudding, and fried calamari. Another surprise is the wide variety of wines.

We had quite an appetite, so we decided to start with a mountain stew. They bought out a tureen for us to serve at our discretion. The bean stew with vegetables was accompanied by an earthenware cooking pot with bacon, chorizo and two types of blood sausage. Oh man, it was to die for! For seconds we ordered a serving of tripe and a goat stew, duly accompanied by a huge tray of chips. I even ordered a lemon curd for dessert.

We nearly burst! And all for an affordable price, which I don’t remember being more than 20 € per person. The service was great, despite the restaurant being packed. We didn't have to wait long at all between courses.

Overall, it’s a highly recommended place whose fame is well-deserved and extends throughout the region. There really is nothing like "word of mouth" since find it you either have to know it or have it recommended to you (it did not occur to me to go for food in the small village of Caviedes).

Great

Excellent

On the way to Ribadeo, we decided to find a site near the motorway, with traditional food, and thanks to the reviews, we were right! Friendly, fast (considering we were traveling), excellent quality and quantity. The triple chocolate cake ...Indescribable! The size of the meatballs (like tennis balls), excellent!

The best in the area

Excellent

I’ve known the restaurant for many years and it remains exactly the same. Everything said in the previous comments I corroborate and add that you have to try the cheesecake. The best I've ever tasted. I also recommend trying a gin and tonic. The twin brothers are the ones who are in charge of the bar and they’re adept in making gin and tonic.

Excellent
