Casa Marcelo

Located just a few metres from the cathedral, Casa Marcelo is the reward for many pilgrims when they complete the legendary Camino de Santiago and is worthy recompense (some would even say it is a religious experience in itself!) for all their exertions. This cosmopolitan setting, in which the chefs interact with guests, features a large central table with a convivial ambience (a nod to the friendly spirit of the Galician people), a counter to one side, a kitchen that is part of the dining room and, to the rear, a pleasant terrace full of vegetation, where you’ll also find a bright and colourful glass-fronted dining room. The cooking is showcased on a concise yet fun à la carte that is particularly designed for sharing alongside the chef’s recommendations, in which elements of surprise and fusion, a mix of Galician and Japanese ingredients, plus a nod to the food cultures of China, Mexico, Peru and elsewhere all play their part. Booking is essential.
