Wood Fire Restaurant · Galicia, Spain
WOOD FIRE COOKING IN GALICIA
Albanta Cocina de Leña is a gastronomic restaurant located in Vilaboa, Pontevedra — 5 minutes from Pontevedra and 10 minutes from Vigo, surrounded by the natural landscape of Galicia. Recognized by the MICHELIN Guide and the Repsol Guide 2026.
Fire is not a decorative element here. It is the technique. Every product that comes through our kitchen — Galician seafood from the Rías Baixas, wild fish caught by line, dry-aged beef — is cooked over live wood fire with the time and precision each piece demands. No shortcuts.
The restaurant is set on a private estate in Balteiro whose architectural renovation received the Premio Gran de Area 2022 from the Official College of Architects of Galicia.
THE MENUS
We offer two tasting menus:
SINGULARIDAD — 99€
The character of Albanta. A curated selection of dishes that define who we are: our cooking philosophy, our technique, our product.
MATERIA — 165€
Everything in Singularidad, plus the finest ingredients available that day — the best Galician seafood, the most exceptional catch, whatever the market offers at its peak.
Both menus are served at lunch and dinner. Advance booking is strongly recommended.
THE PRODUCT
Our menu changes with the seasons and with what the sea and land offer each day. Some of what you may find:
- Camarón from the Ría de Cambados — caught by trueiro fishermen from beneath the mussel rafts, a technique almost extinct
- Wild turbot caught by line
- Galician beef, dry-aged in-house at 0°C and 40–50% humidity, supplied by Cárnicas LyO (Silleda, Pontevedra)
- Wild seasonal fish and shellfish from the Rías Baixas
