I visited Árbore da Veira in A Coruña with my partner to celebrate our anniversary. Despite having informed the restaurant of the occasion in advance, this was neither acknowledged nor mentioned at any point during the evening — a disappointing oversight for a Michelin-starred establishment.
The tasting menu was visually impressive, with colourful and well-presented dishes made from quality ingredients. However, while the presentation stood out, the overall dining experience felt somewhat impersonal and failed to justify the restaurant’s reputation.
We attended using a gift voucher that included both the tasting menu and a set amount for alcoholic drinks. As we were driving, we only consumed two glasses of wine each, leaving a portion of the allowance unused. At no point were we informed that the remaining balance would not be refunded or credited. It was only after contacting the restaurant later that we were told this was their policy. This lack of transparency was disappointing and inconsistent with the level of service one should expect at this calibre of restaurant.
In summary, while Árbore da Veira delivers technically refined dishes and strong presentation, the service and communication fell short, leaving the overall experience underwhelming and not reflective of Michelin standards
