Asador La Bolera

Is Asador La Bolera worth booking in Gijón? Yes, if the meal you want is built around an Asturian steakhouse and grill. The essentials are direct: Cuco Álvarez is the founder and master asador, the dress code is casual, the listed price is $55 per person.

For travelers working through Gijón restaurants, Asador La Bolera is the meat-led option to consider when chuletón, cachopo de ternera, classic Asturian grill cooking are the point of the meal.

Book for the grill

The strongest way to read Asador La Bolera is as an Asturian asador. The signature dishes give a clear sense of the meal: chuletón, cachopo de ternera, arroz meloso con pitu de caleya y setas, puerros rellenos, salpicón de bonito del norte, revuelto de bacalao, arroz con leche.

Cuco Álvarez’s role as founder and master asador is the main trust signal here. The restaurant is identified as an Asturian steakhouse and grill, with a confirmed Macarfi 7.3 Food Rating for 2026. The better reason to book, though, is format fit: choose it when the table wants a grill-centered Asturian meal in Gijón.

Value is clearest for diners who want to build the meal around the restaurant’s known signatures. The $55 per person price gives a practical benchmark, but the main question is appetite and preference: this is a better fit for a meat-leaning meal than for diners who are not looking for an Asturian steakhouse and grill.

The room is casual, with lunch and dinner hours on most open days

Asador La Bolera is in Gijón, the dress code is casual. That makes it a practical choice for a relaxed meal rather than a formal dining occasion.

Timing matters. The restaurant is open Tuesday to Saturday from 12:00 to 18:00 and 20:00 to 00:00, Sunday from 12:00 to 18:00, closed Monday. Plan around those hours, especially if you are trying to fit it into a wider Gijón itinerary.

If your priority is the grill, choose a service that gives the table enough time for a full meal.

Who should choose it, who should skip it

Choose Asador La Bolera for a carnivore-leaning table, a casual meal, or an Asturian grill experience in Gijón. It is especially relevant if the dishes that appeal most are chuletón, cachopo de ternera, or other listed house signatures.

Skip it if the group is not interested in a steakhouse and grill format. In that case, other dining in Gijón may be a better fit for the meal you want.
