Restaurante Maruja Limón

had the pleasure of dining at this one-star Michelin restaurant, and I was blown away by the focus on showcasing the freshest produce of Vigo ie seafood. The slightly poached razor clams on pea sauce were a highlight, with the sweetness of the clams perfectly balanced by the subtle freshness of the peas. The starter of the truffle mushroom ball was delightful, with the earthy flavor of the truffle adding depth to the dish. The seafood selection was impressive, with beautifully prepared seabass and ray that melted in my mouth. While some of the dishes had a slightly acidic tone, it added a refreshing quality to the meal. Overall, this restaurant is worth a visit for anyone looking to experience the best of Vigo's seafood.

An absolut treat visiting Maruja Limon and it's professional staff. The interior is formal and nice, noise is lively and cosy and you can see tables the front kitchen from some tables. Service is efficient without being rushed. Food was amazing, imaginative, playful and tasted great. Maybe the meat dish needed a doover, especially the dark sauce, which was a bit granny in consistency. The wineparing was delicious and very interesting, and both our waiters knew all the wines. Definitely worth its price and Michelin star.

It took me more than a year to gather the courage to write this. Our family’s first fine dining experience was a magical one. Every aspect of the meal was meticulously prepared with the utmost precision. The chef’s talent was evident in every detail, creating a surreal culinary experience. Each element was signed by the creator’s determination to showcase Galicia at its finest. The chef was gracious enough to engage with us to ensure that everything was to our satisfaction. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the chef and the entire team for the exceptional culinary magic they provided.

A really interesting and unique experience. We had the Esencia Maruja menu and it was plenty. We didn’t try with the wine selection but we will next time. I loved not knowing what was coming next. The service was great. You are asked about allergies beforehand and if there is anything you don’t eat. I was a bit nervous because I’m not too brave but steak tartar was as out there (for me) as it got. Can’t fault a thing. We’ll be back 😊

They have two tasting menus. I would recommend the larger one. You can let them know before you go, if there’s things you can’t eat, as the menus are pre-selected for you. One of the best meals we have ever had. Service is great. Atmosphere is perfect too.

I appreciated the dining experience and the food, but considering the 1 Michelin star, it didn't quite reach the level of amazement for me. The service was polite but wasn't overly warm or attentive. We did the €80 tasting menu which consisted of 3 snacks (included bread as a snack), 4 dishes, 1 dessert and petit fours). My favourites were the salmon with avocado and monkfish. Some of the other dishes were too rich and flavours lacked balance, and I would've expected more for a restaurant of this calibre.

Well worth the money for this high quality and delicious lunch. Julianna was the perfect hostess/server.

It's a well worn phrase in reviews to say 'the best food I've ever had' but what I can say about Maruja Limon is I've definitely had nothing better, especially when it comes to tasting menus. Very playful and surprising, with a twist! It's also a measure of a restaurant and it's chefs when they can adapt so quickly and effortlessly. As we sat down the maitre'd asked if we had any allergies and we came back with our stock answer 'Nothing. Oh, except squid ink' (for my wife). She laughed and we quickly guessed why: one of the many small dishes was going to feature it. She said not to worry and they would swap it out. To this day we still have no idea what was the replacement dish because Every. Single. Dish. was truly exquisite, kicking off with four immaculately bedecked leaves from a local coastal plant that tasted exactly like... oysters! And so the experiences continued until we got to the end - with magical homemade petit fours. And the twist... that just wasn't the end. Two dessert tastes were then brought out, accompanied by the lightest (local) sweet wine 'I have ever tasted' 😉 Cheque please! (See you next year x) PS. Tried to take a few pics but the dishes taste waaaaay better.
