Hotel A Roldana

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.

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.

A fourth-generation century-old restaurant founded by great-grandmother Jesusa in 1923 which takes its name from a small island nearby. It features a private dining space, two elegant dining rooms and an open-view kitchen, where experienced chef Miguel Ángel Campos focuses on traditional cuisine with touches of creativity, including an impressive selection of seafood and the restaurant’s signature dishes (gratin of turbot with greens, and pan-fried sole with cornflour). A welcoming terrace completes the picture.
