Restaurant in Cambados, Spain
Michelin-noted seafood at an easy price.
A Michelin Plate seafood address in Cambados with consecutive recognition in 2024 and 2025, rated 4.4 across 753 Google reviews. At the €€ price point, Posta do Sol delivers consistent Atlantic seafood quality without the booking difficulty or price premium of starred rooms elsewhere in the Rías Baixas. Book one to two weeks ahead; midweek lunch is the optimal visit.
Getting a table at Posta do Sol is not the ordeal it would be at a starred restaurant in Madrid or San Sebastián. Booking is relatively easy for a Michelin-recognised seafood address in Galicia, which makes it worth acting on rather than leaving as a vague intention. If you are visiting Cambados — the Albariño capital of the Rías Baixas — and you want a seafood meal that has earned consecutive Michelin Plates in 2024 and 2025 without requiring months of advance planning, this is one of the clearest recommendations on the local dining circuit. Book it before you book your hotel.
Posta do Sol sits on Rúa Ribeira de Fefiñáns in Cambados, a Galician town whose entire culinary identity is built around the Atlantic. The Rías Baixas produces some of Spain's finest shellfish and white wine, and a restaurant at the €€ price point with consecutive Michelin Plate recognition is not a coincidence , it is a signal that the kitchen is doing something right with the extraordinary local produce on its doorstep. For the food and wine traveller who makes decisions based on value-to-quality ratio rather than prestige alone, Posta do Sol is the kind of find that justifies the detour to a small Galician coastal town.
The atmosphere here is what you would expect from a well-regarded Galician seafood house: more focused and settled than a tourist-facing tapas bar, less ceremonial than a tasting-menu room. The energy is grounded and purposeful. This is not a loud venue, nor is it reverentially quiet , it occupies that productive middle register where conversation is easy and the meal takes precedence without theatre. If you have dined at informal but quality-driven seafood restaurants along the Galician coast, you will recognise the register immediately. If you are coming from a major European city expecting the controlled hush of a fine-dining room, recalibrate: the mood here is engaged and sociable, which suits the food and the town.
On the question of service: at the €€ price point, the Michelin Plate signals that Michelin's inspectors found the food creditable , but the Plate does not carry the same service expectations as a Star. At Posta do Sol, service style is the kind that earns its price rather than one that demands it. For a venue at this price tier in a town of Cambados's scale, that is exactly the right relationship. You are not paying for choreographed tableside work. You are paying for knowledgeable, attentive handling of seafood that the region does better than almost anywhere in Spain. The value case is strong precisely because the service stays practical and warm without overclaiming. Compare this to a starred room in Vigo or Santiago de Compostela, where the service apparatus adds significantly to the bill: at Posta do Sol, you pay for the plate, not the performance.
Timing matters here. Cambados comes into its fullest form in summer, when the Albariño harvest season approaches and the town's festival calendar fills out, but the Rías Baixas seafood is consistent year-round , it is the Atlantic, not a seasonal vegetable garden. For the most comfortable experience, a midweek lunch visit avoids weekend pressure from domestic tourists making the short drive from Vigo or Pontevedra. Lunch remains the main meal in Galicia, and arriving for the main service rather than a late-evening sitting gives you the full rhythm of a Galician seafood meal at the time of day when kitchens here are at their sharpest.
Posta do Sol is a practical base point for anyone building a Galicia itinerary around food and wine. Cambados offers Yayo Daporta for creative Galician cooking at the higher end of the local market, and A Taberna do Trasno for traditional cuisine at a more casual register. Posta do Sol occupies the intelligent middle ground: Michelin-recognised, mid-range priced, and rooted in the seafood that defines this corner of Spain. If you are building a multi-day visit, pair a dinner here with a winery visit , see our full Cambados wineries guide for the leading producers to book. For where to stay, our Cambados hotels guide covers the most practical options close to the old town.
For first-timers: arrive knowing that Galician seafood cooking at this level is about product and technique, not elaborate presentation. The Michelin Plate is a marker of consistent quality, not of complexity. Order around the shellfish and the day's fish , the Rías Baixas Atlantic provides the kind of raw material that a competent kitchen needs only to treat well. Pair with local Albariño. The wine and the food are built for each other in a way that no imported pairing can match.

Google reviewers rate Posta do Sol at 4.4 across 753 reviews, which at that volume is a durable signal rather than a statistical outlier. It confirms that the kitchen performs consistently for a wide range of diners , not just enthusiasts primed to find quality, but ordinary visitors who arrived without high expectations. That consistency, combined with the Michelin recognition and the mid-range price point, is the clearest argument for booking. Further afield in Spain's seafood fine-dining circuit, you might compare the experience against Aponiente in El Puerto de Santa María at the extreme end of creative seafood, or look at Mediterranean alternatives like Gambero Rosso in Marina di Gioiosa Ionica and Alici on the Amalfi Coast , but for Galician Atlantic seafood at this price-to-quality ratio, Posta do Sol is the answer in Cambados.

Booking is easy relative to other Michelin-recognised addresses in Spain. There is no published booking method in the venue data, so contact the restaurant directly or use a local concierge service. Aim to book at least one to two weeks ahead for weekends and peak summer dates; midweek visits during shoulder season (April to June, September to October) can often be arranged with shorter notice. Walk-in attempts are more realistic here than at starred restaurants in larger cities, but calling ahead remains the sensible approach.

A quick look at how Posta do Sol measures up.
Group capacity details are not confirmed in the venue data. For parties of more than four, check the venue's official channels at Rúa Ribeira de Fefiñáns, 22 in Cambados to confirm layout and availability. At a €€ price point, the format is likely to suit small-to-mid-size groups better than large private dining parties.
For a Michelin Plate-recognised address in Cambados, booking a week or two ahead is generally enough outside peak summer months. July and August bring heavier tourism to the Rías Baixas, so push that to three weeks minimum during those periods. There is no published online booking method in the venue data, so check the venue's official channels at Rúa Ribeira de Fefiñáns, 22.
The kitchen focuses on seafood, which in Cambados means Atlantic shellfish and catch from the Rías Baixas. Lean into whatever the kitchen is presenting as the day's best catch — that is how Galician coastal restaurants of this type deliver the most value. Avoiding the seafood-heavy sections of the menu here would be a mistake.
Cambados is a small town, and Posta do Sol is among the few Michelin-recognised addresses in it. For a comparable Galician seafood experience with more formal credentials, look to O'Pazo in Vigo or restaurants along the broader Rías Baixas coast. If you want a fully starred meal in Galicia, Casa Solla in Poio holds a Michelin star and is within driving distance.
No tasting menu format is confirmed in the venue data, so do not book expecting a structured multi-course progression on the model of a starred restaurant. At a €€ price point with a Michelin Plate in both 2024 and 2025, Posta do Sol is positioned as quality-forward everyday dining rather than a special-format occasion restaurant.
At a €€ price range with back-to-back Michelin Plate recognition in 2024 and 2025, Posta do Sol offers strong value for the category. You are getting quality-vetted Galician seafood at a price point well below what a starred restaurant would charge. For the cost of a mid-range meal, that is a defensible spend.
It works for a relaxed celebration tied to Galician food and the atmosphere of Cambados, but it is not set up as a high-ceremony occasion restaurant in the way a starred venue would be. If the occasion requires theatrical service or a tasting menu format, look further afield. For a meaningful meal built around serious seafood at an honest price, it is a solid choice.
