Restaurante Miguel González

"In the heart of the historic centre of Ourense, and a few steps from both the Praza de Abastos and the iconic As Burgas thermal spring, this restaurant gives new impetus to the culinary philosophy of chef Miguel González, which until now shone like a hidden gem on the outskirts of the city. In its elegant dining room, which has a partially exposed kitchen and is not without a certain historical air, combining high ceilings and marble floors with comfortable contemporary furniture, you can discover the cuisine of memory, sensations and improvisation that the chef has always associated with the concept of ‘#novaleparar’ (#neverstop). The cuisine, technical and contemporary, takes shape through three surprise menus, as they redefine their dishes daily according to the products acquired each day: Auria, Cloe and Laia (in all of them it is possible to add a board of Galician cheeses and a wine pairing). A dish that won us over? Their wonderful peas with veal sweetbread, bacon and chantarelle mushrooms." - Michelin Inspector

Miguel González

"Accessed via a narrow country lane, this gastronomic treasure is located barely 6km from Ourense in a secluded setting within the walls of a small century-old rural hotel (Hotel Rústico San Jaime) in the village of A Morteira.A great fan of improvisation, chef Miguel González showcases his skills on three surprise tasting menus (Rústico, Cloe and Laia) that change in line with market availability and have a strong focus on flavour, delicate textures and the best ingredients sourced the same day. Savour his dishes in the attractive rustic-style dining room with its open fire in winter, or on the pleasant terrace – the perfect setting in which to enjoy these delightful surroundings during the summer months." - Michelin Inspector
