El de Alberto

This successful, family-run business has had a new lease a life under the baton of chef Aitor Prieto, part of the third generation at the helm of this culinary institution and trained in renowned restaurants such as Culler de Pau (in O Grove). This welcoming eatery, located close to the Playa del Orzán, is hidden behind a large picture window that bathes the contemporary dining room in natural light, and where guests can enjoy attentive and informal service, with owner Alberto Prieto keeping a watchful eye on proceedings. The cooking here is an updated take on traditional cuisine with hints of fusion, and comes in the form of medias raciones listed via a QR code (although full raciones and the tasting menu are also available). Dishes on the menu include marinated mackerel with a spring onion and wasabi salsa, hake on a bed of Galician-style potatoes, and sirloin, cep mushrooms and foie gras. Whatever you choose, everything is delicious!
