Café de Altamira

Café de Altamira occupies the historic Pazo de Altamira in central Santiago de Compostela, positioned beside the lively local market. This restaurant offers a versatile setting for breakfast, snacks, lunch, or dinner, infused with the vibrant atmosphere of its surroundings and the charm of the city's cobbled streets. The kitchen blends youthful energy with experienced craftsmanship, reinterpreting Galician gastronomy by using the freshest seasonal market produce. Dishes showcase local traditions enhanced with innovative touches, and all are served on traditional Sargadelos pottery that connects heritage with modern presentation. The menu features specialties like creamy Iberian ham croquettes, passion fruit vinaigrette drizzled lagostinos with jalapeños, shellfish selected daily, low-temperature cod with allada and trinxat, Iberian pork ravioli in mushroom béchamel and demiglace, and Frisona beef solombo accompanied by stewed vegetables and demi-glace. A crème brûlée paired with red fruit ice cream rounds out the selection. Café de Altamira holds a Bib Gourmand distinction in the Michelin Guide and highlights an extensive wine cellar devoted to Galician wines from all denominations and subzones, including emerging varieties. Group menus complement the à la carte choices, inviting guests to engage fully with the region’s culinary culture.
