The story
In the heart of A Coruña, Bido is a restaurant that channels the spirit of Galicia through a contemporary lens. The kitchen, led by Chef Xoán Crujeiras, is driven by a deep respect for the region's landscape and larder — its seafood, meats, and vegetables. The result is a modern cuisine that feels both rooted and fresh.
The cooking here is Atlantic in character, built on the quality of the product and the clarity of its flavors. A tasting menu might begin with a crisp aperitivo of prawn crackers and lobster coral emulsion, followed by a grilled mackerel with clams, peas, and a smoky broth of bean pods. Scallops from Cambados arrive marinated, paired with leaves, flowers, and a vegetable broth. A main of venison loin comes with pumpkin, spinach, pickled beetroot, and a rich jus of Porto and Pedro Ximénez. Desserts, like the caramelized brioche torrija with pineapple ice cream and spiced pineapple sauce, lean into comforting sweetness.
The space itself is designed for quiet enjoyment — light, geometry, and natural materials create a setting that feels both elegant and welcoming. There is also a cocktail bar for those who wish to begin or end the evening with a carefully mixed drink.
Bido’s recognition by the Michelin guide reflects its consistent commitment to quality and its ability to translate the essence of Galicia into a modern, memorable dining experience. It is a restaurant that speaks of its place with pride, without ever needing to raise its voice.
