Simpar

In this restaurant, fronting one of the city’s emblematic cobbled streets leading to the city’s famous Praza das Praterías and cathedral, the staff are delighted to announce that Simpar’s daily menus are always built around ingredients sourced the same day from trusted suppliers, whose names they are also happy to share with guests. In the contemporary-style interior, featuring a spacious bar at the entrance, young local chef Áxel Smyth showcases his fresh and creative Galician-inspired cuisine on three set menus: Corto (available for lunch midweek only), Conocer and Simpar, on which strong technique adds immensely to the dining experience (every menu has the option of adding an extra dish – an updated version of the traditional tripe with chickpea stew). One of his signature dishes is Galician-style fish of the day, which changes with the seasons and is accompanied by crushed potatoes and a three-textured “ajada” sauce.
