We had the good fortune of eating at the Casa Marcelo, located just of the square in front of the cathedral. We had booked a table the day before, which comes highly recommended given the popularity and the relatively limited amount of seats. The menu on the evening is set (60 € per person for 7 courses), so you just... more

Our dinner was reserved for 9.45pm and from that moment on we were whisked away into to true Galician hospitality. The staff were very knowledgeable about my gluten free diet (i had emailed well in advance) and when we were unsure of wines,we were given samples for us to try. I choose a table near the kitchen which my husband... more

To put it short I feel obliged to share with anyone interested that this little restaurant in Santiago de Compostella is simple one of the best value for money restaurant experiences you might ever have. A week after we visited the place I am still puzzled that you may find such a; high quality, well prepared, interesting, diverse and well... more

Casa Marcelo - particularly the fabulously cooked lubina (whitefish), an inventive pate/popcorn starter and a mouthwatering fish soup/consommee - was certainly one of the highlights of our recent visit to Galicia. The restaurant has been awarded one Michelin star, but a second star would not be unfounded (e.g. I would rate this clearly above Abac of Barcelona which has 2... more

You just get the 8 dishes that Marcelo chooses to cook that day but every one of the dishes we ate was perfect. Mostly very simple - the best escabeche of mackerel I can imagine and an absolutely brilliant take on the local 'hake in green sauce' where the green sauce burst with flavours of green peppers and lemon. The... more

One night we wandered down the road that leads down from the parador to check out a restaurant we had heard about from a local where the menu is whatever the chef happens to find in the market that day. We almost missed Casa Marcelo on the left, but there was no problem getting a table - mid-December 2008, the... more

If you do one thing in Santiago (apart from visiting the cathedral!) then eat at this restaurant. However make sure it is open as it has strange opening times and pre-book as I have no doubt its reputation will grow and grow. The menu is fixed and there are no choices, so you get what you get, therefore it may... more

Can't believe this place isn't more highly rated... I had a fabulous evening here having followed a Guide Rouge Bib Gourmand recommendation... and wasn't disappointed. The chef and the rest of the staff were very attentive and the set menu was hugely satisfying. I would urge people to try it. more

Menú cerrado y variable ( a diario) de cocina innovadora y siempre exquisita. El local es elegante, con la cocina... more
