Restaurante Prebe by Bret

The food was amazing. The service was even better. We were in Lugo for a few hours to walk around a bit and maybe walk the Camiño path nearby. We saw this place, and had a feeling we just needed to try it, so we ducked in and made a dinner reservation. Then we got trapped on the mountain in the rain. The only path back was being used for a marathon. Everything was wet, and we were splashed with mud from passing runners and a few mishaps of our own. We cleaned up in the car and were embarrassed to arrive looking a mess. We thought about changing restaurants to somewhere less formal, but we couldn't shake the feeling that we really wanted to try this place, and we're not in Lugo often. We both expected to get turned away at the door. So we went a little early to the bar to get a feel for whether we could stay. The staff was actually incredibly nice, reassuring us we could eat. Instead of kicking us out (like they would here in Santiago), they made sure we knew there are 2 menus and two restaurants inside. And let us look at both from the bar. Maybe they hoped we would stick with tapas downstairs but we were absolutely famished. They seated us and gave us incredible treatment regardless. You would swear we were celebrities by the way our waiter ensured everything was perfect the whole meal. The San Martinho was more of a traditional galician style dish. Perfectly prepared, and full of natural flavor. The lubina was an artistic masterpiece. We had side dishes of patatas fritas, white asapargus, and roasted puerros. The waiter recommended the puerros, with reason. The combinations of flavors and textures was incredible. And being treated well, despite showing up as adventure hippies is a rare treat in itself. The attached image is the appetizers they brought to the table. 14/10 will be returning the next time I'm in Lugo!

Excelent local product with focus on seafood and matured fish and meat. Well selected offer of Galician and foreign wines. Informal tapas-bar in the ground floor and more gastronomic restaurant upstairs that I definitely recommend. Bret Fernández is perhaps one of the most talented chefs currently in Galicia.

We had a wonderful experience with a surprising fried fish (capracho). The service was very attentive and explained us every dish. We sat in a terrace behind the restaurant in shadow in a warm summer day. Everything was just perfect.

The food was good although tiny portions. For instance, the “secretos” are very small for the price …

Highly recommend this restaurant if you are in Lugo, will definitely be going back there. The food was top notch and great music to accompany our lovely meal.

We had a gastronomic pleasure, and service was very good. Meals were detailed explained, and everything was very delicious! Fantastic

À fantastic experience on Friday 7th of February! Thank you for your guidance, explanation and excellent food!

Hemos ido al Prebe un sábado por la noche con la reserva más bien temprano. Un acierto porque fuimos los primeros en llegar y estábamos solos en la sala, lo que nos permitió escuchar con tranquilidad cómo funciona el Prebe y las particularidades de la carta. Incluido el detalle de la marca de la cristalería, que como me encantó, no dudaron en aclararme el tipo de cristal, la marca y donde encontrarlo. El comedor es pequeño y está en la planta de arriba, pero es más que suficiente para una atmósfera tranquila e íntima. La atención y el servicio son exquisitos y muy cercanos. El mismo chef sale a servir algunos de los platos. A nosotros nos sirvió, el san martiño por ejemplo. Como buena vasca que soy, me encantó abrir la cena con esa Gilda tan especial. Nosotros también pedimos; el tartar de vaca, la vieira, las alcachofas y el san martiño. Todo para compartir y genial para dos. Como estábamos algo llenos, el postre de dulce de leche vino totalmente recomendado por su frescura y textura. Una vez más, fue un acierto total, nada pesado y con una salida cítrica que nos dejó muy sorprendidos. Si estás pensando en una cocina diferente, sin salir del todo de los sabores tradicionales, sin duda este es tu restaurante. Muy muy recomendable.
