It also boasts an attractive garden with a summer terrace, a private bar and a number of contemporary-style dining rooms occupying what were once the bedrooms. Make sure you try the main speciality here (lobster with rice) as well as some of its popular stews (gurnard, brill, turbot, lobst14.5km
• A Tafona★ Michelin There are personal goals that develop with learning, travel, effort... that personal evolution that can only be achieved by reaching your targets. This is the perspective from which we must take Lucía Freitas, a chef who is aware of food intolerances, tireless in her quest for a healthier cuisine and who, whenever possible, uses vegetables from her own garden. This charming restaurant with a contemporary atmosphere, where the stone walls and the wonderful skylight of the main dining room blend with a cosy private room, is the ideal setting to enjoy a modern, regionally based proposal, which is19.7km

• A ViaxeBib An unusual bistro-style restaurant located in a small square close to the centre of the city. The chef at the helm creates dishes that have the distinct feel of his native Peru, combined with influences he has amassed on his travels around the globe and less popular fish species sourced from the auction. Here, they say that “every dish is a journey”, hence the desire to explain the provenance of each one on the menu (Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, Galicia, Basque Country etc). The cuisine is focused around two menus: 7 Destinos and 9 Destinos. Given its small size, it is advisable to book ahead.19.7km
• Café de AltamiraBib Its strapline, “the flavour of the market”, says it all! This friendly restaurant in the Pazo de Altamira hotel (with its own entrance and independent management) comes as a pleasant surprise with its decor of light bulbs hanging from the ceiling, unusual bottle racks and colourful tableware by Sargadelos, all of which create a rustic yet vintage feel. At its large tables designed for sharing, discover pleasantly updated traditional cooking with plenty of personality and a philosophy that showcases the flavours of Galician cuisine (we particularly enjoyed the lightly roasted mackerel with “ajo19.8km

• O Balado Guests flock here to experience the silence, enjoy the fresh air and, of course, to enjoy locally sourced cuisine which will leave a lasting memory. Although it is located in a village that is a little off the beaten track, it is worth walking from the car park (you have to open and close gates to prevent the animals from escaping) and passing the discreet façade of the house to discover a room where you will see rustic, modern and homely details... and even a typical ‘lareira’ (fireplace), used both for cooking and smoking. Marta and Roberto, the duo at the helm, offer two tasting menus (Viax15.8km

Additional bonuses here are the pleasant patio-terrace – the perfect setting for a relaxed meal or drink – and the extensive wine list19.3km
