Eirado Da Leña

It was an enjoyable experience with the food quality, the attentive service and its setting in the well preserved old quarter. Especially the delicious well cooked Dorada with crispy skin. The recommended aged Albariño from a small winery was wonderful and very reasonably priced.

Small and charming restaurant in the historical centre of Pontevedra. Michelin starred. We had the tasting menu and it was wonderful. The two highlights for me were the aspargus dish and the cuttlefish, which were both outstanding. Excellent service. Good value for money given its quality and reputation.

If you like fish then this is the place to go. A 1 michelin star fish restaurant that is punching way above its weight class and wouldn't surprise me if it add a second star soon. Now let's get down to a review, if you don't like fish then you might struggle a little bit, the starter course on the A la Carte menu is a little bit limited and the fixed menus are not going to be for you. However if you do like fish then you are going to be in heaven. An amuse bouche started things off with percebes in miso and some freshly made bread which was absolutely delightful. For me being a non-fish eater (the rest of the family adore it) I had a main course of local Galician Beef with a date compote and a sprinkling of veg which was simple amazing. What you do have to seriously remember though is to leave room for pudding as if the fish is good in this restaurant the deserts are even better. I had a desert which was a play on coffe with a coffe based sponge, cofeee ice cream and coffee paper (??!!..but it worked and tasted of coffee) which was simply amazing. Now comes the painful bit (which really was reasonable for what we had) for four of us (2 adults and 2 chuldren) the bill was €172 without wine but the quality that we had this was actually very reasonable. The $64million question...would I go again? In a heartbeat.. this place is fantastic and a little gem in Pontavedra.
