The story
In the heart of Ourense, Ceibe is a restaurant where the rich tapestry of Galician tradition, culture, and landscape meets contemporary, playful cooking. The team's philosophy is clear: tradition, culture, landscape, nature, products, and producers walk hand in hand. The ecosystem and pantry of Galicia provide the finest seasonal ingredients, which are served simply, always respecting their natural flavors and textures. The kitchen draws inspiration from the old Galician recipe book, reinterpreting it with a modern and fun perspective, while also leaving room for outside influences.
The restaurant's name, Ceibe, hints at its approach—a place that celebrates the spontaneous and the ephemeral. The menu changes with the seasons, dictated by what the surrounding rivers, mountains, and seas offer. This commitment to locality and seasonality is the bedrock of every dish.
Ceibe offers a journey through Galicia via three distinct tasting menus. The "Menú Xeito" is the most restrained proposal, featuring three starters, one fish, one meat, and a dessert. For a deeper exploration, the "Menú Enxebre" presents a ten-bite gastronomic voyage, while the "Menú Esmorga" expands to fourteen bites, offering the fullest expression of the kitchen's creativity. All menus are adapted for allergies and dietary restrictions, though they cannot accommodate vegan or vegetarian diets.
This dedication to high-quality cooking, rooted in the best products of the region, has earned Ceibe a Michelin star. It is a recognition that validates the restaurant's mission: to make the kitchen the center of life, one plate at a time.
