Pizara café in Oviedo, the best value tapas and wine we had in the Asturias. Try the montaditos - slices of freshly cooked pork on bread, delicious. Also the sausages are very good along with the glasses of dry white wine. Just ask the bartender for a recommendation and you wont be disappointed. Trendy modern tapas café/bar in the plaza de la Catedral.
Plaza de la Catedral, 3 - 33001, Oviedo
