OVD only has one main option airside, and this is it
Café y Tapas sits in Terminal T1 at Asturias Airport, just past security in the main departures hall, so it ends up as the default stop for most morning and mid-day flights. The rating hovers around 3 out of 5, which tracks with expectations for a standard Spanish airport café: serviceable coffee, quick snacks, nothing you’ll remember next week.
Pricing lines up with Spanish airport norms: expect around €2–€2.50 for an espresso or café con leche and roughly €4–€6 for a basic sandwich or bocadillo. You’ll also see pre-made pastries and muffins in the €2–€3 range, which work for a 7:00–9:00 flight when the rest of the terminal feels half-asleep. Portions run smallish, so order an extra pastry if you’re skipping a meal until landing.
Food leans heavily on cold items that can be served in under 5 minutes: tortilla wedges, packaged salads, and simple ham-and-cheese sandwiches that get reheated on request. Expect standard Spanish café fare rather than anything regional to Asturias; if you want proper fabada or sidra, you’re better off in Oviedo or Gijón before heading to OVD. For a safer bet, stick with tortilla and a coffee instead of going deep into the display-case options.
Seating is all in the shared departures area, so at busy times for Madrid and Barcelona flights (typically late afternoon), you’ll be sharing tables with passengers from multiple gates. There’s no table service; you order at the counter, pay, and carry your tray to whichever seat you find. Turnover is quick, so even with a 20–30 minute wait before boarding, you can usually grab a drink and a bite without clock-watching.
Tip: if your gate is one of the last in T1, place your order to go, then walk down towards your gate before unwrapping anything so you’re not sprinting back when boarding starts.
