O Balado

"Guests flock here to experience the silence, enjoy the fresh air and, of course, to enjoy O Balado’s “zero miles” cuisine which will leave a lasting memory. Although it is located in a village that is a little hard to find, it is well worth the effort to track down its discreet façade, behind which you’ll find a homely dining room featuring a mix of rustic and modern detail, including a typical open fireplace (“lareira”) used for cooking and as a smokery. Excellent quality, reasonable prices and traditional dishes prepared with love and attention, including smoked eel and Bandeira oxtail stew." - Michelin Inspector

"At O Balado, Marta Fernández and Roberto Filgueira open their farmhouse and cozy hearth (I waved to sheep, donkeys and chickens on the approach) to serve traditional Galician fare—rustic bread with house butter, crab croquetas and simply roasted meats—in an exquisite, comfortable setting." - Lisa Futterman
