Two Michelin stars, avant-garde seafood tasting menus, Galician flavors
"Equally connected to its surroundings, the on‑premises restaurant features a main room with a large window toward the forests and a gastronomic experience that begins with an appetizer in the organic garden that supplies some of the very ingredients in the meal. Committed to deep synergy with its environment, it values local products, local suppliers, and artisanal processes, while the daring cuisine of chef Xosé T. Cannas draws inspiration from Galician traditions." - The MICHELIN Guide
"It is a miracle to find a restaurant of this standard in the middle of the countryside, but Pepe Vieira bucks this trend! In this spectacular restaurant surrounded by woods, gardens and pleasant terraces, chef Xosé T. Cannas takes a bold approach to everything, exploring new recipes and ingredients from elsewhere which he combines with superb local ingredients (particularly from the sea) on tasting menus (Romasanta, O Señor de Andrade and A Santa Elección) that take guests on a journey back to the roots of Galician cuisine which is described here as the “la última cociña do mundo”! Sustainability is the backbone of the experience, which begins with aperitifs in the garden before exploring the building’s different spaces and then moving to the dining room, which opens out onto nature via huge picture windows. The splendid wine list is based around the theme of the Camino de Santiago. Guests have the additional option of 14 individual cube-style bedrooms with an unexpected cutting-edge design that enables guests to experience their natural surroundings to the full." - Michelin Inspector
"The Pepe Vieira restaurant is committed too to a deep synergy with its environment: it values local products, local suppliers and artisanal processes." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Having earned its second Michelin star in November 2022, Pepe Vieira felt both exceptional and relaxed—servers wear sneakers and so can you; Chef Xosé Cannas and his team deliver playful, avant‑garde seafood-forward tasting menus (from sashimi presented on a roasted fish head to a salad served with a rubber spatula and a cheese course that is pretending to be cheese) with rías views, a kitchen garden and striking contemporary architecture." - Lisa Futterman
"In the small village of Serpe next to Raxó (Pontevedra), this unique countryside restaurant earns Two MICHELIN Stars; chef Xosé T. Cannas has composed a team of professionals from all fields to create a place with a discernible avant-garde design and the single aim of exalting the flavors of “the newest cuisine in the world!”." - The MICHELIN Guide
