L'alquimista - Oviedo

Uno de los mejores restaurantes en Oviedo. Excelente menú de almuerzo cuando visites Oviedo.

Gran comida, excelente servicio, hermoso ambiente y buen valor para el dinero!

Sin duda, un lugar increíble, un menú variado donde la especialidad es el arroz que están preparando en el momento. Probé dos, uno con camarones y otro con conchas y calamares, ambos espectaculares. Las patatas bravas son de las habituales pero simplemente deliciosas. Los calamares muy frescos y crujientes. He comido tartares como en muy pocos lugares y sin duda no tan cerca de casa. El servicio es muy atento. Cocina de mercado con un toque exótico. Para terminar los postres caseros y un café muy aromático. Sin duda, repetiremos en familia o en pareja, un lugar al que ir.

Una sorpresa agradable el descubrimiento de este restaurante. El menú ejecutivo de €15 es un verdadero éxito. Varios sabores y una sugerencia culinaria muy interesante. La causa increíble de Lima, pero el arroz con pescado de 10: no soy de postre, pero debo admitir que también estaba delicioso. El trato impecable y las mesas para comer tienen un enchufe para cargar el teléfono, un detalle que se agradece. Definitivamente un lugar para volver y ver qué delicias están escondidas en el resto del menú.

I had the great luck of enjoying an unforgettable Christmas meal with my family at L'Alquimista. A very complete, varied and exquisite menu. Both in its presentation and in its quality. Perfect portions to get to the main course and fantastic attention from the dining room team. A €30 menu that far exceeded our expectations. The quality Iberian hams gave way to patatas bravas with a presentation I had never seen before but maintaining the classic flavor and perfect potato cooking. Then came a prawn Dim Sum totally unknown to me, I am not a friend of oriental food and yet, it was one of the best dishes I could taste after trying it with some mistrust, the aroma it gave off and its good appearance did not disappoint. Then a scrambled eggs with Iberian secret, mushrooms and truffles, which without being my favorite dish was ideal to prepare for the main course, a suckling lamb with potato parmentier which is undoubtedly the best lamb I have tasted in many years, and it says so a Segovian who has tasted, and not infrequently, lambs and suckling pigs in Cándido and Jose María. There was also arroz del señoret, which the chef embroidered honoring his Valencian roots. The dessert was incredible, nothing dense and it made digestion easier, making me forget about that typical feeling of Christmas meals where you end up fattened and with a heavy stomach until the next day. We had to ask to meet the chef, Carlos Ruiz, to congratulate him on such a great job. And it is one of the few times that we have done something like this, like putting a review, but it deserves it. I hope that the people of Oviedo know how to recognize the value not only of the chef, but also of the remarkable work team that he has and know how to see beyond traditional Asturian cuisine. This restaurant deserves a chance. In my case, I will return when I visit Asturias for sure.
