Taberna O Lagar en Eiras — Restaurant in O Rosal

It's very difficult to find a truly authentic local restaurant that has atmosphere, incredible food, kind and efficient service and an awesome location to boot. This old bodega that's been sympathetically converted into a restaurant is cosy and romantic in the winter (with candlelight and a roaring fire) and cool and romantic in the summer (with it's magical terrace, fairy lights and rustic outdoor dining under the stars). We love this place and go regularly, as do many others so be sure to book to avoid disappointment. Ask to be in the old part if you want dim lighting, candles and more secluded dining. The modern front part is great for lunch with a view over the Minho but has less atmosphere. The menu is varied and has a twist on the normal tapas (you won't find anything like this anywhere else) and they always have specials which without fail are amazing. We just plump for the specials normally and are never disappointed. Right now they are on limited opening times, which I think is...

🏚️Beautiful out of the way rustic, charming restaurant oozing with history. Friendly profesional service. 🏞️We enjoyed eating outdoors at the back in their garden terrace where there's a wine press too.

🦑Food was tasty and portions generous. The grilled octopus with vegetables tempura style was ok but here like anywhere in Galicia the tempura is nothing like what Japonese tempura is like perhaps better to omit the tempura? The turbot with noodles with seafood sauce was fine. 🍾The house wine from O Rosal was delicious a mix of albariño, loureiro and caíño blanco grapes. The mirabel desert was delicious. We went out of season so couldn't enjoy much from their organic garden. Neither were we informed about their local shop products. Vehicular access is tight but there's a nice car park.

✅They are fully compliant with Covid-19 regulations in terms of hygiene and distances between tables.

Overall a good dinning experience. Expect to pay...

Some of the best food we have eaten in 2 years in Galicia. Very warm welcome and great service. If you want to try superbly cooked locally sourced tapas this is the best place in the area. The building is a very old one which has been sympathetically restored and has a nice atmosphere. There are great views across the river Miño to Portugal from the front room which is quite modern in style, or there is a cosy room to the rear with exposed stone walls and an open fire in winter. In summer there is a very attractive courtyard with tables and small water feature which also has a nice feel to it. There is a very large old wine press in the courtyard too which is adds to the historic atmosphere. The food is tapas and so you can have as much or little as you wish, all washed down with locally made wine, or Estrella, Galicia's own excellent beer....
