2. Mesón do mar
Its name (“mar” means sea) contains a hint as to what you can expect at this establishment. Specifically, fish and seafood are its hallmark dishes. After all, this “mesón” (tavern) started out as a seafood restaurant. In fact, it is located right by the fishing port of O Grove.
Its story begins in 2003, born from the dream of a chef and a fisherman, founders Maricarmen and Antonio. Without a doubt the best possible duo for ensuring a business such as this one thrives. Sole, bass, scallops, langoustine, razor clams and all the seafood you could possibly imagine – this is where you’ll find it.
