Restaurante Enxebre. — Restaurant in Vigo

What an amazing experience to have lunch here. We stopped in Vigo on our way to the north of Spain and I’m glad that we did! Lovely city and lunch at this restaurant made it perfect! We chose the 35 euro menu, thinking it might be a few small bites but we were glad we didn’t take the 50 euro version with meat as the portions were very generous. Started with lovely bread with smoked butter, then we had a smoked starter of a deconstructed ham sandwich. An amazing squid ink empanada in a modern way followed and then a small sandwich with beef shank and brisket, heavenly! Then a rice dish with parsley oil and squid and then a piece of fish with cabbage. And dessert was a piece of cheesecake. For 35 euro! I was blown away, also the quality of the cooking and the presentation. Service was fantastic also, lovely people all around. Hope to come back...

We were astounded this could happen and more astounded by a senior member of staff who’s demeanour did not reflect in any way that she understood the severity of what had happened or what potentially could have happened. We didn’t feel the significance of what happened was understood and that is why it’s important for us to leave...
