Description
The origin of Retiro da Costiña dates back to 1939, when the grandparents of Manuel Costiña, the current chef, opened the restaurant. After them, the baton was handed down to his mother. From her, he acquired traditional cooking techniques marked by slow cooking times, while educating his palate by immersing himself in those flavours.
Costiña is in charge of a team of thirteen people who, from early in the morning, work in a kitchen where the produce is received; vegetables, meat, and fish are cleaned and prepared; the ingredients are cooked; and the local wheat and rye bread is baked.
An advocate for local produce, the fish and seafood he works with are sourced from Lira, Muros, Carnota, or Fisterra. Additionally, vegetables are supplied by small producers located no more than ten kilometres away. In an inland region such as Santa Comba, characterised by expansive pasture lands, the presence of top-quality beef and dairy products is essential.
The Garatuxa menu is adapted to each season, and its tasting allows guests to get to know different areas of the house, such as the back room or the dining room. Designed to be enjoyed at leisure, it features anchovies from Santoña and warm olive oil and, for those who request it, poached eggs, as both dishes have been part of the recipe book for years. The perfect complement to the delicate presentations are the pieces made exclusively for restaurant by Sargadelos, the famous Galician ceramics company.
Wine and spirits are of great importance here. The wine cellar, located on the bottom floor, is a contemporary space where priority is given to the preservation of the numerous selection of international wines. In the smoking club, located on the first floor, diners can choose from more than a thousand different spirits and distillates, as well as a fine selection of cigars. The fireplace provides warmth during the colder months.
The restaurant's offer is completed by the construction of seven villas, each named after a local fortified settlement, located at a short distance from it. They are found in the midst of a natural setting, surrounded by a plantation of black corn, known locally as millo corvo. They reflect the number of tables in the dining room and are carefully furnished and decorated using locally sourced materials to ensure that the stay perfectly complements the gastronomic experience.
