Galician cuisine is renowned for its use of fresh, locally sourced ingredients, and Cambre is no exception. Visitors to Cambre can expect to indulge in a variety of seafood dishes, including “pulpo a la gallega” (Galician-style octopus), which is a regional specialty. Fresh fish and shellfish are also staples of the local diet, often served with traditional Galician bread and locally grown vegetables.
Meat dishes such as “lacón con grelos” (pork shoulder with turnip greens) and “caldo gallego” (a hearty Galician soup) are also popular in the area. The town is known for its excellent wine, particularly the white Albariño wine from the nearby Rías Baixas region. Cambre’s many restaurants and taverns serve these dishes alongside locally produced cheeses and cured meats.
For a true local experience, visitors can explore the town’s weekly food market, where they can sample a wide range of fresh produce, artisanal cheeses, and baked goods. Cambre’s food festivals, such as the Cherry Festival, also provide opportunities to taste the best of the region’s culinary offerings.
