Lume

Really really fabulous food. Small servings, but so much to share. Eggplant in yoghurt sauce, leeks with cheese sauce. We went for lunch and came back for dinner, to try the chef's tasting menu. It was just amazing. 6 courses cooked to perfection by the team here. Such intelligent and thoughtful cooking. The service was outstanding. Our waitress was professional and so kind. Very highly recommended. Is go back in a second.

Highly recommend this restaurant. I had the Japan Burger, it was fantastic. There were 4 of us in our group, but the others had already ordered fresh seafood from the market (which I didn't want), so I set out looking for a meat dish. I spoke to Leo who was working front of house at the restaurant and he was so helpful. He arranged for me to have my meal as a take-away, so we could all eat together at a wine bar nearby. The presentation of the food as a take-away was really smart. It came in cool boxes with great cartoon images. The Japan Burger was recently awarded one of the highest awards in the Spanish burger competition and it is easy to see why. Really lovely texture of the meat, but with added crunch of salad leaves. Brioche bun, I feel hungry again just typing this review ! I also added the potatoes in a nice and spicy salsa; these were also really tasty and everyone else in our group tried to steal them from me. I have eaten at another excellent and well known burger restaurant in Spain (The Hundred), and the burger at Lume was certainly comparable. While waiting for my food, I watched the kitchen staff preparing other meals and the food that came out to the other diners looked spectacular too. Well done Lume and thanks again to Leo for his hospitality. Best wishes from Mark

We just had the best night at Lume. The food is delicious, with every course delivering bursts of wonderful flavours. The sommelier recommended perfect accompanying wines for the tasting menu and the wait staff were engaging without being intrusive. We just loved this restaurant. We came for lunch and were so taken with the dishes that we tried that we came back for dinner. Best experience in Spain so far.

The food is fun without being gimmicky (I did the tasting menu), and the service was spectacular. I’m afraid I rushed things a little bit, and I forgot to relay that I have a peanut allergy until I was served a dessert with peanuts. Still, they were extremely helpful and accommodating, and I left on time! Many, many thanks! I would come back again just for the clams and the pork. Extremely reasonable price for the caliber of food and service. Definitely recommend!

Not me trying to dine here in the morning when they weren’t even open yet. I was looking for a place to eat and their door was open so I walked in thinking they were taking diners. They were setting up for the day. I ended up walking by after my tour had finished and as luck would have it, there was a free seat overlooking the action in the kitchen. After checking out the menu, I decided to get the 6 course tasting option. The dishes I was given were all delicious. It started with a soup then followed with seafood dishes, followed by a pork dish and ended with one dessert. It was just the right amount of food to get me through the day. My dinners were all scheduled late in the evening. Can say enough how good the service was. I always find it interesting to see the whole staff prep everything. Chef Freitas was such s great leader. I noticed her take the time to show and explain to her staff how to properly prepare whatever it was she was working on. It looked like a stress free zone despite the fast pace.

Very good price quality, with a tasting menu for less than 50€ (beverages excluded). All in all, I am happy I tried it and some dishes in particular struck with me. Navajas were well cleaned and although the pil pil wasn’t that present, I did enjoy them a lot. The leek with cheese foam was also really tasty, while the eggplant was a bit bland and perhaps lacked in originality, as I feel it is quite common in Asian cuisine prepared that way. Meat was tasty, although not memorable. The wine was truly amazing. A sweet white but not dessert sweet - the suggestion was spot on and made me know something new. I was surprised they didn’t have infusions/coffee, which some people might want to enjoy after lunch or dinner. The dessert though was delicious, especially the cocoa sorbet. We noticed some people got extra chocolates on the side in the dessert place, I wonder if that was because they didn’t opt for the menu or if due to staff forgetting. Proportions for the menu were decent. We came hungry but not starving. We were lucky to sit outside, because it is true that inside in summer it can be hot and stools aren’t too comfy. The concept inside is that of a shared high table, so if you seek for privacy, you will have it more outside. However, the kitchen is efficient and works tidy and silent - so it’s not too noisy. I do recommend it.

A casual lunch place from the Michelin guide! The eggplant was absolutely stunning. Loved the place (and the red bathroom!). Kudos to the chef and staff!

Lume is the more informal and affordable offer from Lucia Freitas that holds a Michelin Star with A Tafona, located nearby. A la carte or tasting menu, local product from the central market just in front of the place is always present. Tiny space with open kitchen complemented by a terrace facing the traditional market. Acceptable wine list with focus on Galician winemakers.
