Acio

Acio is a welcoming and homely Galician restaurant found on the outskirts of the Santiago city centre, ideal respite after a hard day’s sightseeing. Being situated away from the hustle and bustle of fellow tourists, patrons can relax here for a light lunch in the afternoon, or join the rest of the locals later in the evening. The menu is regularly updated on their website, so it is worth checking before planning any visits.

Leading outside at the back of the restaurant, Acio have their very own garden, where the chefs cultivate ingredients for their often exciting and experimental dishes. The ‘Garden Desserts’ menu includes a strangely enticing ‘mushrooms with basil ice-cream’ option, perfect for the more ambitious and daring diners.

Price range: €7-40.

Food type: Galician, Gourmet, Seafood.
