The story
Café de Altamira sits on Rúa das Ameas in Santiago de Compostela, a short walk from the cathedral. The restaurant describes its cooking simply as “Galician market cuisine” – a promise of fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from local markets and prepared with respect for the region’s culinary roots.
The dining room is comfortable and welcoming, with air conditioning, outdoor seating for warmer days, and wheelchair access. Lunch and dinner are served daily, with a menu that changes to reflect what’s best at market.
In 2026, the Michelin Guide awarded Café de Altamira a Bib Gourmand, its recognition for good quality, good value cooking. The award underlines the restaurant’s commitment to honest, unfussy Galician food that delivers real flavour without pretension. It’s a place where the cooking speaks for itself – and the market sets the menu.
