€€
The more informal venture by the Geadas brothers (Óscar and António), who, after their success at the renowned G Pousada, now seek to reaffirm their love and commitment to their homeland. Here, they advocate traditional cuisine aimed at promoting the local recipe repertoire, taking the authenticity of Bragança’s products to the wider world. In addition to dishes like Aunt Mariema’s tasty samosas (which can be vegetarian or meat), generous scallops with cockle couscous (made from Barbela wheat typical of Trás-os-Montes), you can find game options such as wild boar sirloin served with chestnut p

Regueiro da Cova
Galician
€€
(Temporarily closed due to relocation) This restaurant, located along the well-maintained banks of the Támega, the river that criss-crosses the town of Verín in the province of Ourense, is not be missed, as chef Begoña Vázquez focuses on traditional Galician cooking and the typical flavours and ingredients (organic veal and chestnuts in season) of the Monterrei area, which the chef combines with a more contemporary approach. The à la carte service is complemented by several set menus: Sinxelo (short, set lunch menu on weekdays), Raíces and Recordos.
