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.

On the corner in middle of the old town of Cambados is El Rincon do Tio Paco (the corner of uncle…read morePaco). On a sunny day you can sit on the terrace and even have a view over the Ria de Arousa. The menu mainly consists of fresh fish, paella or rice dishes. There are also some tapas and meat dishes. We chose paella, with sea fruit and meat. There were also variations with veggies or lobster. The paella is served like it should be: in a pan coming straight from the stove. It is dished up on a side table and served out by the waiter. Quite a service! The taste was ok, not the best one I have ever tasted. And to my surprise the chicken I was thinking I was eating, was rabbit!!!! Not my taste. There are some homemade desserts (like cheesecake or flan) and Italian ice team. The nicest thing about this place was the fact that both the waiter as well as Paco himself (the owner) were super friendly to our little 2 year old boy running around. They even indicated we did not have to get up from our table when he ran of towards the road in front of it. We actually could relatively peacefully eat our meal.

Great little new place! Pontevedra is a rather small town…read morewhere things don't tent to change much but lately some more innovative business have opened. This cafe/tapas bar has a great decor and a great ambiance making it a breath of fresh air. Their wine list is elaborate and away from conventional more main stream wineries.

I normally go there to have a drink before lunch, and enjoy one of they tapas. I highly recommend the tostas of their revueltos, but do not hesitate to ask as they will always give you advice. If you are not very hungry, don't you worry as you will get some free food with your drink. They have a small sitting area outside overlooking the square that tend to be packed when the sun if out.
