Cambados is a gastronomic paradise for seafood lovers, offering a variety of dishes that showcase the bounty of the Atlantic Ocean. Albariño wine is often paired with local delicacies such as pulpo a la gallega (Galician-style octopus), mussels, clams, and percebes (goose barnacles). The combination of fresh seafood and crisp white wine is a defining feature of the local dining experience.
One of the town’s signature dishes is empanada de berberechos, a savory pie filled with cockles, a local shellfish. Another favorite is arroz con mariscos (seafood rice), a hearty dish often enjoyed during special occasions. Visitors can explore these flavors at local restaurants like Yayo Daporta, which has earned a Michelin star for its innovative take on Galician cuisine, or at one of the many traditional taverns scattered around town.
Food markets in Cambados are also a delight for visitors, with fresh produce and seafood on display. The town’s close connection to its wine heritage means that wine tours and tastings are a must for any visitor, with many local bodegas offering pairings with regional dishes.
