Bret Fernández, the chef at the helm of this restaurant named after the Galician word for “sauce”, defines his culinary concept by the mantra “celebration, abundance and satisfaction". At this tapas bar-style eatery located along a pedestrianised street in Lugo’s old quarter, you’ll find quotes by leading Galician writers plus a meticulous dining room with a rustic feel on the first floor, the latter also boasting an ageing cabinet.

It is home to a charming patio-terrace too!

This restaurant is run by two siblings in a residential district close to the university. It features a tapas bar with high tables for informal eating plus two dining rooms where guests can choose from an extensive à la carte which impresses thanks to its array of rice dishes (we particularly recommend the creamy rice with marine plankton).

Located in a small town just over 15km from Lugo, this restaurant is the perfect place for meat-lovers who can choose between dishes roasted in the wood-fired oven (such as baby lamb) or steak cooked on the grill. This “asador”, which shares its name with a charming small hotel, has gradually updated its facilities and is one of the few in Galicia to have a Castilian roasting oven and open grill behind the counter. The “alta selección” beef steak is for two to share.
