2 Hands-on or Demonstration Cooking Class followed by Lunch or Dinner based on what you have prepared with your Chef at the fabulous Restaurante Roberto. RESTAURANTE ROBERTO (Write up in cntraveller) A restored 19th-century pazo (Galician country house) about 7km outside Santiago. Roberto Crespo is the man in charge. His cooking is luxurious but relatively simple, giving a twist to traditional Galician dishes. Try vieiras (scallops) oven-roasted in their shells with Albariño wine, turbot with potatoes and mushrooms, local beef sirloin with shiitake, foie gras and pine nuts. The ambience of the restaurant, well upholstered and rather old-fashioned, makes it perhaps more suitable for dinner than lunch. Comments from Restaurante Roberto: We have chosen the menus that are representative of the Galician Cuisine/Gastronomy. Selected Scallops and Dublin Bay Prawns for the seafood as this are in season at this time of year and the Sea Bass because it is an excellent choice for a fish dish. For the meat Lamb Sirloin is excellent from this area and as well this way you will get a taste of the inland cuisine of Galicia not only coastal cuisine. The dessert is very typical of Galicia as chestnut is used a lot in different desserts and sweets. The preparation of these dishes are quite simple the main part is to have fresh products and then add the special touches of traditional Galician Cuisine combine with some Modern touches and not to forget some secrets of the chef. We are sure you will enjoy the menus selected but for any dietary or allergic reasons we could modify some of the ingredients, please advise if so. Day by day itinerary
