The Michelin Guide's review
A restaurant that will be a pleasant surprise for guests, both in terms of its passion for hospitality, its use of the very best ingredients, and its small town location. Ably supported by his family, Manuel GarcÍa strives for culinary excellence through his impressive Desde 1939 tasting menu (a nod to the restaurant’s history - it has been passed down through the family since 1939) that starts with a staggered “gastro-sensory” experience in the Champagne “corner” on the ground floor, which provides an insight into traditional Galician dishes and flavours (sea bass, spider crab, locally reared chicken etc) from a creative perspective and includes unusual textures and presentation. You then move on to the bakery, the spectacular bodega, and the pleasant dining room on the first floor, before completing your culinary odyssey in the impressive lounge with its sofas and fireplace for a post-dinner coffee, delicious petits-fours and an extensive choice of spirits. In addition, the delightful design-inspired villas close to the restaurant are modelled on a typical Celtic “castro” settlement in the heart of nature. If you are staying here, don’t miss the stunning breakfast.
