The story

O Camiño do Inglés – Michelin Recommended Restaurant in Ferrol, Spain

The Chef and the Path

At O Camiño do Inglés in Ferrol, chef Daniel López – known as “El Inglés” – translates the Atlantic coast’s briny essence into delicate, market-driven dishes. With British roots and a life spent by the sea, López works from a corner of the port, selecting ingredients daily with the same devotion as his first day in the apron. The restaurant’s name, meaning “The English Way,” nods to the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route that passes through Ferrol, and the team welcomes every guest as a pilgrim embarking on a journey of sensation.

A Philosophy of the Sea

The kitchen’s inspiration is the ocean itself. “The sea. Our dishes. Two worlds united by their essence and flavour,” reads the restaurant’s philosophy. This translates into a cuisine that is both British and Spanish in spirit – modern, yet rooted in tradition. López describes himself as a “market culinary artisan,” and the menu changes with the catch and the season. The result is a tasting experience that feels like a conversation between the tides and the plate.

The Tasting Experience

The restaurant’s signature offering is the Menú do Patrón, a tasting menu built around the idea of a family feast where you trust the host. There is no fixed list: the kitchen constructs the meal dish by dish, using what the local markets and the sea provide that day. The menu includes water; the wine list is separate and curated separately. It is available for lunch (arrivals before 14:45) and dinner (before 21:45) and must be booked in advance through the website. It is honest cooking, driven by seasonality and the team’s criterion.

Recognition and Atmosphere

O Camiño do Inglés holds a Michelin Recommended distinction for 2026, a recognition that aligns with the restaurant’s quiet confidence. The space is intimate, with outdoor seating and a private room for events. The wine list is interesting, and the service is table-side and attentive. With two Repsol suns and nearly 15 years of experience, the restaurant continues to evolve, always with the “Englishman” at the helm, ready to offer sensations to anyone who crosses the threshold.
