O Mirador – KEVIN CRAIG

We just returned to our albergue from an evening at O Mirador. What a lovely dining experience we had!

We had a lovely view of the Rio Miño, and the most excellent of meals. Our server was most gracious about taking our photo, too. There really are no bad tables at O Mirador. The restaurant seating is a semi-circle, with most tables facing the beautiful river.

We had a variety of dishes from the menu. And each and every one was delectable.

We started with a Rioja wine, because when in Spain! It was so nice.

We started with the Homemade croquettes. They were absolutely melt in your mouth goodness. Pure magic! Melty cheese and ham. SO GOOD!

We could not NOT order the cheese board. We love our cheese and this selection was SO DELICIOUS.

How can bread even BE next level! YUM. It went so well with the cheeses! Say yes to bread!

You’re never going to guess what we had next. Padrón peppers. Again! And not a single hot one. I was afraid after yesterday, but these were all tame and delicious.

With the Padrón peppers came our shared main. With all the starters, we only had the one main between us… no issues.

It was delicious. I’m not one for beef, but it was really tender and tasty. You could taste the charcoal. Nicely medium rare.

Then came the delectable dessert! Again, we shared. We each picked something that piqued our interest and tastebuds, and we were both thrilled with the result.

I chose the Stones of Portomarín (Ancano). Michael chose the brownie. We were so spoiled! Absolutely delicious!

I’m so happy we reserved for O Mirador in advance. It was such a lovely experience! Our special treat for breaking the 100km milemarker today. Why not? You only live once. There’s no one else in the world I would have wanted to experience it with. A lovely night!

If you are planning your Camino Frances Camino de Santiago pilgrimage, make sure to book O Mirador for your meal in Portomarin. After all those kilometres, you deserve it!

It was a lovely walk back to our albergue.
