Fantastic seafood restaurant in the back streets of Cambados, just a few metres from Avenida de Madrid. It’s a traditional, white tablecloth type of place with good -sized portions of very fresh local seafood. We can recommend the cazuela de merluza, a fish stew with huge quantities of hake. They also do a set menu for lunch. Worth ferreting out for an authentic Galician experience.
O Solar was recommended to us by a friend and it did not disappoint. It is situated a couple of streets back from the main tourist street in Cambados but it is definitely worth tracking down. On arrival the waitress was very friendly and gave us some good recommendations from the menu. We started with Calamari and Scallops and they both tasted amazing and very fresh. On mains consisted of Monkfish, a T-Bone steak and a filet on steak, again all were beautifully cooked and tasted great. Our meal was washed down with a lovely bottle of local house Albariño. We all finished off with a glass of Coffee Liqueur. Overal, a great meal in lovely surroundings. I look forward to our next visit.
The restaurant is off the beaten track, but it’s definitely worth visiting. The atmosphere is friendly and charming. The food is authentic Galician seafood simple and tasty. The price is reasonable. It’s not touristy at all. It was a great discovery!
The owners here treated us so good. Simple, but tasteful decor. The razor clams were out of this world. Best I had in my 5 weeks in Spain. Marisacada was amazing. If you order it for 2 don't get anything else. The bacaloa didn't blow my mind, but had solid flavors. We went twice while we were in town. Great authentic, fresh seafood with a home style feel. House wine is a good pick.
We have eaten here years ago and this time it was even better than we remembered! We arrived a bit early at 8PM and on the off season and had the whole place to ourselves. The Almejas de Marineiro were melting in our mouths. We also had the house Albarino the wine that this region is well known for and it was beautiful! The bad part is that they were closing for the season the next day! So glad we had our first meal there!
