Quinta de San Amaro

Top choice


The bright, big-windowed restaurant at this country boutique hotel is worth a trip from anywhere in the region for its delicious updates on traditional Galician cuisine – preparations like Iberian pork sirloin with chestnut purée and caramelised apple, prawn and vegetable tempura, monkfish-and-prawn brochette, and some delectable desserts. There's a fine wine list with, naturally, an emphasis on albariño. Reservations recommended.

First-class service, tastefully cheery decor and expansive countryside views further enhance a memorable experience.
