If you’re not familiar with Puerto de Vega it is well worth a visit as it is one of the prettiest and most authentic towns along the entire Cantabrian coast. Situated in a pedestrianised section of the old quarter, this pleasantly simple restaurant run by a friendly couple has lots of personality. Mary, the chef, who often comes out of the kitchen to talk to her guests, focuses on dishes that showcase the finest local products and which always follow traditional recipes, albeit with a modern touch. Our recommendations include the hake with a leek sauce and the “bomba” of calamares with aioli. A place you’ll want to return to time and time again!
