Retiro da Costiña

A restaurant that will be a pleasant surprise for guests, both in terms of its passion for hospitality, its use of the very best ingredients, and its small town location. Ably supported by his family, Manuel García strives for culinary excellence through his impressive tasting menu (a tribute to the history of the business which was founded by his grandparents in 1939). This “gastro-sensory” experience, which provides an insight into traditional Galician flavours and ingredients (sea bass, spider crab, locally reared chicken etc) from a creative perspective, evolves in stages in the Champagne “corner” on the ground floor followed by the bakery, the spectacular bodega, and the pleasant dining room on the first floor, before ending in the impressive lounge with its sofas and fireplace for a post-dinner coffee, delicious petits-fours and an extensive choice of spirits. In addition, the delightful design-inspired villas close to the restaurant are modelled on a typical Celtic “castro” settlement in the heart of nature. If you are staying here, don’t miss the stunning breakfast.
