Two choices for the opening course, three for the first course and two for the main. In LA SIDRA’s October issue, El Saúco presents a set menu that gives diners a choice at each stage, completed by bread, a drink and dessert.
LA SIDRA.— The cider house at 20 Calle Valencia in Xixón features in the restaurant pages of LA SIDRA 270. The format remains the same on weekdays and at weekends, when more special dishes are offered.
The menu featured in the magazine

- Sundays: €27.
These are the amounts published in that issue. For the available menu, service days and reservations, the restaurant can be contacted on +34 985 39 83 30.
A long-established Xixón cider house
El Saúco opened in 1977. Its history featured in our report on forty years of tradition, alongside earlier food coverage such as ribs and cider.
The menu offers an introduction to an establishment within the wider food culture of Asturian cider houses. Everyday cooking and service also belong in the discussion about support for cider houses: cider’s cultural value lives on in the places where it is served and shared.
