Image Credit: | https://guide.michelin.com/en/galicia/santiago-de-compostela/restaurant/cafe-de-altamira Its strapline, "the flavour of the market", says it all! This friendly restaurant in the Pazo de Altamira hotel (with its own entrance and independent management) comes as a pleasant surprise with its decor of light bulbs hanging from the ceiling, unusual bottle racks and colourful tableware by Sargadelos, all of which create a rustic yet vintage feel. At its large tables designed for sharing, discover pleasantly updated traditional cooking with plenty of personality and a philosophy that showcases the flavours of Galician cuisine (we particularly enjoyed the lightly roasted mackerel with "ajoblanco" and cherry-ponzu tomato) both on the à la carte and its enticing tasting menus (Ameas and Altamira). The restaurant's location right next to the busy food market also ensures that its ingredients are of the highest quality.
