Galician cuisine is renowned for its focus on fresh seafood, and Foz is no exception. Visitors to the town can enjoy a wide variety of seafood dishes, including pulpo a la gallega (Galician-style octopus), empanadas filled with fish or meat, and mariscos (shellfish). Mussels, clams, and cockles are commonly featured in local dishes, often prepared simply to highlight their fresh flavors.
Foz’s proximity to the sea ensures that seafood is always on the menu, but the town is also known for its hearty inland dishes, such as lacón con grelos (pork with turnip greens) and caldo gallego, a traditional Galician soup made with potatoes, beans, and greens. Local cheeses, such as the famous San Simón da Costa, are also a must-try, often enjoyed with a glass of Albariño or Ribeiro, the region’s celebrated white wines.
For visitors looking to experience local flavors, Foz has numerous restaurants and cafes offering both traditional Galician fare and modern interpretations of the region’s cuisine. The town also hosts food festivals and markets where visitors can sample fresh, local produce and artisanal products.
