Casa Marcelo

  • Casa Marcelo. Rua Hortas, 1. 15705 Santiago de Compostela. Tel +34981558580. This extraordinary place is another Helena Martínez's contribution. They have a fixed menu 75€. This unique and inventive place offered me one of the best meals ever. All dishes were prepared with local ingredients, re-inventing the flavours, combining textures and colours. We had a local wine Lalama also based on a combination of local grapes, mark it on your list. They have only 33 seats, make your reservation. I am wishing to return.

Oleum

  • Oleum. San Antón 81, Granada 18005. Telephone +34 958295357. One of my favourite places in Granada. As restaurant it is a must and an oasis in the middle of august. Gregorio García's cuisine is just exquisite, prices more than reasonable, the service perfect and the cellar is large and very good. Also, you can try to have tapa with a beer of just to have breakfast.
