Restaurants in Pontevedra

Ranked #2 in Europe for casual dining by Opinionated About Dining in both 2024 and 2025, D'Berto in O Grove is Galicia's reference marisqueria for estuary-sourced shellfish and fish cooked with precision. At €€€€ it is a considered spend, but the consistency across three years of top-tier rankings and a Michelin Plate makes it the clearest choice for a serious seafood lunch in the Rías Baixas.

Pontevedra's only Michelin-starred restaurant (2024), Eirado is chef Iñaki Bretal's contemporary kitchen on Praza da Leña, built around daily seafood sourced from the Ribeira auction. At €€€ with tasting menus (Currican and Palangre) and a skilled sommelier, it's the clear choice for a special occasion in the city — but book three to six weeks ahead, especially for dinner.

Trasmallo is Pontevedra's most convincing argument for Michelin-recognised dining at a budget price. With Michelin Plate awards in both 2024 and 2025, a 4.7 Google rating, and a menu anchored by daily-fresh fish and standout cuttlefish croquettes, it delivers well above its € price point. Easy to book, with a characterful bar and a quieter stone-walled dining room upstairs.

La Ultramar holds Michelin Plate recognition for 2024 and 2025, making it one of the strongest value propositions in Pontevedra's dining scene. Fusion cooking at the single-euro price tier, with a 4.1 Google rating across 2,000-plus reviews. Easy to book, low financial risk, and a credible choice for food-focused travellers who want Michelin-noted quality without a large bill.

Loaira Xantar earns two consecutive Michelin Plates (2024 and 2025) at the most accessible price tier in Pontevedra, making it an easy yes for food enthusiasts wanting genuine regional Galician cooking in one of the old town's most atmospheric squares. With 1,618 Google reviews averaging 4.4, the consistency is backed by volume. Book it as a sit-down experience — the Praza da Leña setting is central to the proposition.

Savoy Restobar on Pontevedra's Praza Ourense is a relaxed hybrid bar-restaurant better suited to a weekend brunch or mid-morning coffee than a formal dinner.
