Hostal Fidalgo

A restaurant that takes its name from chef Vicente Cabal and which features a kitchen visible from the dining room. Cabal is truly passionate about cooking and has had a long career working in leading restaurants across the country. On the à la carte, he conjures up creatively prepared Mediterranean cuisine with a balanced approach between tradition and innovation, which is complemented by a tasting menu named after the restaurant. In 2022, it won the award for the world’s best “fabada” stew!

A welcoming bistro-style eatery with a rustic-contemporary feel, enthusiastically run by two brothers (Vicente and Iván) who humbly refer to their restaurant as a canteen-like “casa de comidas”.

The à la carte, harbouring dishes such as crab balls and broth, chicken with rice, and pigeon with spinach, is complemented by two tasting menus: Raíces and Arraigo.

A classic address that has had a new lease of life under the reins of chef Javier Álvarez, who has made the move here from the now-closed Casa Farpón de Mamorana. It has retained its rustic ‘asador’ appearance with the open grill visible from the dining room, where the market-inspired menu is focused around various hearty dishes (the Argüelles stew with “compango”, a mix of different meats, is outstanding), daily specials (such as filled potatoes, the thick Asturian “pote” soup, and Verdina beans with spider crab), fresh, traditionally caught fish from Rula, Trasacar red meats, plus an impress
