€€€Modern Cuisine
This attractive restaurant with an open kitchen close to the port takes its name from the nickname by which everyone knows owner Daniel López, who is referred to as ‘El Inglés’ (The Englishman)! The contemporary-style à la carte, with its roots in Galician cuisine but with interesting nods to other countries (Peru, Japan, Italy, etc.), is complemented by a tasting menu, called Do Patrón, which requires prior reservation. Half portions are also available so that you can try lots of different dishes.

Located in Ferrol, O Camiño do Inglés specializes in modern cuisine and tasting menus. Food quality is highly praised, with Chef Daniel’s innovative dishes like Celtic chicken and desserts receiving acclaim, though some note repetition across menu options. Service is attentive and friendly, with personalized wine pairings from Ribera Sacra. The elegant atmosphere and open kitchen enhance the dining experience. However, value is debated; some guests find the price high relative to limited choices, as only fixed tasting menus are available. It suits travelers seeking refined, innovative gastronomy, while those prioritizing cost-effectiveness may prefer alternatives.
Ideal for diners seeking refined, innovative cuisine; those prioritizing value should weigh options carefully.
€€Contemporary
BaceLo is located along a central pedestrian street in the heart of the Magdalena district and boasts an informal, rustic-contemporary ambience. The attentive couple in charge (Alex and Mar, both of whom are cooks), showcase cuisine with a contemporary flair through which they enjoy combining Galician-inspired dishes with others from further afield, but always based around local ingredients. Examples include the tom yum crab croquettes with peanut satay, conger eel cannelloni with chipotle au gratin, and pork ribs cooked at low temperature with chestnuts, bulghur wheat, walnuts and curry.
