Café de Altamira

Its strapline, “the flavour of the market”, says it all! This friendly restaurant in the Pazo de Altamira hotel (with its own entrance and independent management) comes as a pleasant surprise with its decor of light bulbs hanging from the ceiling, unusual bottle racks and colourful tableware by Sargadelos, all of which create a rustic yet vintage feel. At its large tables designed for sharing, discover pleasantly updated traditional cooking with plenty of personality and a philosophy that showcases the flavours of Galician cuisine (we particularly enjoyed the lightly roasted mackerel with “ajoblanco” and cherry-ponzu tomato) both on the à la carte and its enticing menus (Ameas and Altamira, both are for groups only). The restaurant’s location right next to the busy food market also ensures that its ingredients are of the highest quality.
