Vivo en Vigo y como hacia muy buen tiempo fui con mi mujer a dar una vuelta al otro lado de la ria, a Moaña. Iba con intención de ir a este restaurante después de leer su página Web pero sin ninguna referencia. Realmente me quedé alucinado. Pedimos como entrante una ración de zamburiñas (es un plato exquisito en cualquier caso, y es un marisco muy poco conocido fuera de Galicia), tengo que reconocer que flipamos, ¡¡las mejores zamburiñas que habíamos comido nunca!!, normalmente las hacen de mas y pierden muchísimo aroma, en este caso estaban en su punto y el sabor era increíble, nos llamó mucho la atención pues después de haber tomado muchísimas veces este marisco nos dio al sensación de que realmente era la primera vez que lo probábamos. Como plato mi mujer pidió una merluza a la cazuela y llegó a comentar que “era una de las mejores merluzas que había probado en su vida” y teniendo en cuenta la afición que mi mujer tiene al pescado y sobre todo a la merluza ya es mucho decir. Yo tomé unas carrilleras de ternera absolutamente impresionantes su textura (se podian cortar con el tenedor) y su sabor eran una delicia al paladar. Por supuesto el postre no desentonó. Un postre que abunda y que es muy demandado en esta zona (cañitas rellenas de crema), pero que rara vez da el nivel, lo que no sucedió en este caso. La cañita absolutamente crujiente y la crema en su punto exacto. Todo ello regado con un vino de las bodegas riojanas Palacios Remondo (La Montesa) realmente exquisito. La factura (70 EUR los dos) no es muy barata, pero la relación calidad/precio es espectacular. Es un restaurante absolutamente recomendable y la atención muy amable a cargo del dueño del mismo.
Inexplicablemente habia muy poca gente en el comedor, lo que da una sensación desangelada.
