The moment you arrive, you know it's special. It's an intimate and romantic setting you'll soon forget. We enjoyed a late lunch with a staff that fussed over us. We did not want to keep them so we opted for a la Carte vs. the delightful tasting menu. It was a great decision given what followed. Our meal began with the in-house bread. It was perfect. Total perfection. Note, no butter. Not needed, either. I enjoyed a perfect Albariño wine. Our waitstaff recommended it. All three glasses. Ssssh. And DH enjoyed the Nordes gin. I opted for the beef sirloin with peanut butter swirl and DH went for the hake fish. But first? PB&J foie. Yup, infused and the best thing since sliced bread. We ended lunch with the Santiago cake. It was brilliant - deconstructed and perfect in all ways with almond ice cream. Then came the surprise chocolates. All 8 of them! What a strong finish! The $100 Euros was easy to lay down for one of best meals in Spain. See website for more details.

I have mix feeling about this place. It used to be one of…read morethe most innovative restaurants in town, but in a place were great value for money is abundant, somehow they managed to make themselves a loyal clientele by offering traditional cuisine but adding a modern twist. Today my impression was that the modern twist is still there, flavours were really good, so it was the presentation and the service but there was something missing. Portions were very small. When you having the tasting menu, obviously the amounts are less but we all felt we could have done with a bit more food. Normally you do not go to this type of establishments to stuff yourself like in a all you can eat buffet but leaving with hungry shouldn't also be the case. All in all if you are after a treat,or something more elaborate and fancy this is the place in Pontevedra.

As we approached, we saw the Michelin sign and were delighted. The food was superb. Not many items on the menu, but I think that's great as I am not a local Galician and wouldn't know what would suit my ignorant foreign taste. We decided to play safe and ordered salad, grilled veggies and Rice and Seaford (similar to paella). The salad had peeled tomatoes that were so sweet, it tasted like fruit. The veggies were grilled to perfection with nothing except a pinch of salt...it was amazing! The Rice and seafood had a flavor we couldn't pinpoint, but it produced a cornoecopea of flavors...creamy, lightly cheddary. Soooo delicious. The ambiance and service was top-notch to match. Thoroughly impressed with the place overall.

The seasoning was spot on and the aioli on top was a wonderful addition. A great creamy Galician beef with peppers rice was very umami and the beef was beautifully braised. Our third dish was Cuttlefish in ink with smashed potatoes and a fried egg. A unique dish that tasted of the briny ocean. It was topped off with a three cheese cheesecake that while delicious was more of a custard. The wine list shows off the local wines and we enjoyed some spectacular Albariño's. The service was a little slow but made for a nice relaxing 2 hour lunch.
