However the real reason was to go to Restarante Rio Sil in Carballo. in the north of Galicia. I have visited in the past but not for two years. Since then the rooms above the restaurant have been completley modernised and are now very clean and pleasant. This is a restaurant review. so about the food,Amazing. Marcos is an excellent host. He organised the finest food s and ingredients in Galicia,the most abundant and finest place to eat in the world ,with the best beef and freshest fish and shellfish. Everything was the highest quality. We had: Queen scallops,razor clams, Baby squid A whole line caught Pargo, in season The most enormpus spider crabs ,live and then cooked and hand picked and served in the shell. 11 year chuleton of Ox or buey . an assortment of hand made postres We drank bright albarinos and magnums of Ribera del duero none of which was more than 40 euros a bottle, I have eaten all over the world and at a lot of the best Michelin starred restaurants. HOWEVER if its a long family lunch ,with the best food and the abilty to experience the best that GaliciA ,or anywhere)has to offer, Rio Sil is my number 1 choice in the World!! Marcos send my regards to your father the Chef and we will be back regards the Standish Family

All so fresh, and the meat was cooked at the table. We ate outside as we have a dog, the service was so good, and the waiter could not have been more helpful. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

On ordering the sirloin, the chef came to explain the cheaper entrecôte was of a better quality that day and so we went with his recommendation. Beautiful steak and great red wine for very reasonable prices. Top quality silky napkins were a personal highlight too.
