EL CÍRCULO - Espacio Gastronómico en Avilés

EL CÍRCULO Avilés masterfully navigates a culinary landscape where Asturian tradition converges with global technical innovation, particularly from Japan and Southeast Asia. Chef Javier Rico crafts an avant-garde experience, evident in dishes like the Katsu Sando of duck with a rich, savory yakiniku reduction. The menu showcases meticulous preparation, from the confit of cod kokotxa with a delicate fennel pil-pil, offering a silken texture, to the intensely flavored 'Cochinitita Pilbil' of red tuna, elevated by a crisp tempura. A pervasive smoky aroma graces the palate, notably in the smoked butter with onion ash. The aged beef steak tartar, with its mineral depth and vibrant sour cherries, exemplifies the restaurant's commitment to both bold flavors and refined presentation. Techniques such as precision poaching and innovative fermentation ensure a complex interplay of textures. This is a destination where Asturian ingredients meet global authority, delivering a balanced and profoundly creative tasting journey.
