A centrally located restaurant with a difference, given that its interior design resembles that of a private house, with a small entrance hall, an access corridor and a pass-through kitchen overlooking the dining room where various works of contemporary art adorn the walls. One of the restaurant’s key features is its “culinary liberty”, with chefs Paco Chicón and Sergio Musso (the former in the kitchen and the latter front of house) choosing a different theme every year (Galician women, Countess Emilia Pardo Bazán, Origen, Tempus etc). This season has been built around the concept of "Déjà vu"

A restaurant with a restrained decor and a philosophy based on Omakase-style dining (hence the name) in the emblematic Plaza de María Pita of the city, where you’ll find nothing more than a sushi bar and a fish-aging cabinet. Here, Vigo-born chef Adrián Figueroa, a true expert when it comes to slicing techniques and the preparation of tuna, showcases his skills on a single tasting menu (to which you can also add extras such as eel, crayfish etc) that changes according to availability at the daily auction. Bookings need to be made via the restaurant’s website.

An attractive bistro-style taberna featuring a terrace, a bar where guests can also choose to eat if they wish, and two dining rooms with stone walls.
