Miguel González

Accessed via a narrow country lane, this gastronomic treasure is located barely 6km from Ourense in a secluded setting within the walls of a small century-old rural hotel (Hotel Rústico San Jaime) in the village of A Morteira. A great fan of improvisation, chef Miguel González showcases his skills on three surprise tasting menus (Rústico, Cloe and Laia) that change in line with market availability and have a strong focus on flavour, delicate textures and the best ingredients sourced the same day. To improve the texture of some of his dishes he even uses thermal spring water! Savour his dishes in the attractive rustic-style dining room with its open fire in winter, or on the pleasant terrace – the perfect setting in which to enjoy these delightful surroundings during the summer months. One dish with plenty of history is his “Ponche” dessert, dedicated to time spent with his grandfather during his childhood.
