The names of the 15 Galician restaurants with a Michelin Star were announced last Tuesday, with the addition of Auga e Sal in Santiago de Compostela. The recognition of Galician cuisine, however, does not stop, and the guide has made public the names of the 24 places that have obtained the Bib Gourmand award.

Michelin Guide Spain & Portugal 2022 has 284 establishments on this list after the incorporation of 43 premises, three of them in Galicia. The restaurants that can already boast of becoming part of the prestigious list are El Ceibe, in Ourense, and A Viaxe and Anaco, both in Santiago de Compostela.

But what is the importance of this recognition? The Bib Gourmand identifies the places that offer the best value for money in the guide. These establishments "never disappoint" and offer consumers the chance to enjoy quality food at "contained" prices, according to the guide itself. Quincemil has gathered in this list the 24 Galician restaurants with the recognition.

land

This establishment has been delighting the palates of its customers for more than three years in the place previously occupied by Luis Veira's Árbore da Veira. «A place with a modern line that everyone talks about, because in it they try to offer an elaborate cuisine although somewhat more informal, based on light dishes but... tremendously tasty!». This is how the Michelin Guide describes Terreo, a “casual cuisine” venue located in A Coruña that has chef Quique Vázquez in charge of the kitchen and Ana Señarís as head of the room. The average price per person is between 31 and 45 euros.

Albert's

This business faces a new stage with a change of premises a few meters from the Orzán and Riazor beaches. The owner, Alberto Prieto, offers updated traditional cuisine with increasingly modern dishes, of which the Michelin Guide highlights its "generous portions" made with quality products. The average price per diner can range between 30 and 50 euros.

Artabria

The Michelin Guide highlights the history of this restaurant's name, linked to a tribe of Celtic origin settled in the area, as well as the decoration of the dining room and the fact that the kitchen is partially visible. "Try the crispy scallop baskets with cream of small crabs, the smoked salmon rolls with prawn tartare, their shrimp broth rice... and, of course, the Lamprey in season", suggests the official publication, which figures between 34 and 45 euros per person average spending.

Sea of ​​Esteiro

"One of the best options to taste quality fish and shellfish." Thus begins the description that the Michelin Guide makes of this place located a few kilometers from the center of Santiago de Compostela.

Rice with lobster or Rubio Stew are two of the dishes recommended to diners, which they usually spend between 33 and 55 euros per person.

Anaco

This place located in the capital of Galicia has stone walls and is located a few meters from the Museo do Pobo Galego. «You will find a current and personal gastronomy that makes the Galician seasonal product the main protagonist, with a small menu that changes periodically and subtle nods to the Asian continent. We recommend reserving and ordering the menu (#amesaposta), as it provides a good tour of its kitchen”, collects the Michelin Guide on this place by chef Víctor Lobejón from Palencia, where customers usually spend between 25 and 40 euros.

Mama Fish

«Here the bet is clear: a reduced menu, with an updated traditional cut, which draws attention for its fish. Sargos, san martiños, sea bass, scorpion fish, turbot... the chef always makes some of these fish in whole pieces, baked and on baked potatoes, although dishes such as lobster rice or golden octopus mugardesa with orange aioli also stand out. », describes the Michelin Guide about this simple place that won the Bib Gourdmand last year. The average price ranges between 13 and 45 euros.

A Viaxe allows customers to create a tailor-made tasting menu according to the dishes on the menu and the size that the diner prefers, which will define the price. This, in any case, usually ranges between 16 and 35 euros and allows customers to taste dishes from Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, Galicia and the Basque Country, among others.

Pampin Bar

The Michelin Guide highlights the traditional atmosphere of its interior in this establishment, which contrasts with the modern façade. «The place, with original armchairs on the sides, a large shared central table and structural details in exposed concrete, supports the idea of ​​seeking the usual home cooking, that which extols the flavors of childhood and which the chef calls 'de neighborhood'.
