Yayo Daporta
For those keen to experience the flavours of the Atlantic to the full, it’s hard to find a better place than this. Here, chef Yayo Daporta describes his cuisine as “based on common sense and the best possible taste”. What is certain is that there’s much more than this to his cuisine, which reinterprets Galician cooking, bringing it up to date in a way that takes it to another level. The sea takes pride of place with mussels, cockles, barnacles, seaweed and simply cooked razor clams all featuring in this attractive restaurant occupying a stone building that was once a royal hospital dating back
TripAdvisor review sample · 4.1/5 · 100 reviews
Located in the historic center of Cambados, Yayo Daporta offers creative cuisine with a strong connection to local producers. Guests frequently praise the high-quality ingredients, particularly seafood and Albariño wine pairings, within a cozy, simply designed dining room. However, experiences vary significantly. While many appreciate the professional service and value, others report issues with slow pacing, disorganized table management, and inconsistent service standards, such as incorrect wine temperatures or premature clearing of plates. The restaurant delivers a high-level gastronomic experience when service aligns with expectations, but stability remains a concern for some visitors.
Suitable for diners seeking high-quality local ingredients and creative cuisine who can tolerate potential service inconsistencies.
