WHERE TO EAT The best Fabada Asturiana in the world (according to food experts)

"Their fabada is synonymous with absolute happiness for lovers of spooning. Not by chance, in 2013 El Llar de Viri won first prize in the contest that annually chooses the best fabada in the world."

"The restaurant La Maquina de Lugones offers the best of traditional Asturian cuisine and most especially the landmark dish of this land, an extraordinary Fabada Asturiana."

"It wasn’t until the final savoury course that my lust for Asturias turned into true love. I’d had fabada before, but never like the Moran family makes it: with fresh (rather than dried) beans, unbroken and unblemished and impossibly complex and savoury."

"Fabada Asturiana with his companion, chorizo, black pudding and bacon. The beans were delicious and they were melting in mouth."

"The creamy fava beans of the signature dish are heaped with delicious hunks of morcilla , chorizo, and bacon."

"This bustling sidrería is a popular and classic destination for locals and tourists alike, who come to enjoy the lively atmosphere, a cup of cider poured from a great height, and the traditional, family-style Asturian fare. Try the fabada."

"For the main, the fabada is a must; a bean and pork stew, served with crusty white bread to dip into the flavourful sauce."

"An exquisite fabada stew in Casa Eutimio."

"The beans melted in the mouth and the fabada was exquisite."

"Casa Chema's spectacular stew is made only with Pravia beans, sown and picked by hand, which thanks to their fine skin melt in the mouth but not on the plate. The sausage is made especially for CASA Chema and comes from Gochu Asturcelta pigs. Taste is the best proof that the products are of high quality."
