A Tafona

There are personal goals in life that develop with knowledge, travel experience and lots of effort, and this is the perspective from which we should assess the career of Lucía Freitas, a chef with an acute awareness for food intolerances and who is indefatigable in her quest for a healthier style of cooking that uses as many vegetables from her own garden as possible. This welcoming restaurant, with an interior design that combines a contemporary aesthetic, open stonework and a large skylight, is the perfect setting in which to savour modern, regionally inspired cuisine that showcases Galicia’s rich bounty (fish and seafood, in particular) in dishes that are delicious, colourful and feature strong technique and a feminine touch. Choose between two interesting tasting menus: Sosiego and Algarabía. The walls here are embellished with a fine collection of photos dedicated to the women who work in the town’s wholesale food market.
