Restaurant of the Parador de Ferrol
Galician seafood cuisine
The Parador de Ferrol pays homage to traditional Galician cuisine, with a gastronomy marked by a seafaring influence, given its location in the middle of the A Coruña estuary, prolific in the production of seafood. The varied products from the area's market garden and meats such as Rubia Gallega veal also play an important role in its menu.
An "arsenal" of traditional A Coruña gastronomy
In the bright and cosy dining hall, with views of the harbour and the estuary, you can sample simple but tasty cuisine where the produce is the star. Typical dishes such as Galician broth or caldeirada (stew), home-made pies, octopus a feira (with potatoes and paprika), Galician-style scallops or filloas (thin crepes) stuffed with seafood. And to top it all off, rice pudding from Ferrol, filloas filled with cream and flambéed with orujo or the popular Ferrol cake, made with puff pastry and sweet chestnuts.

Opening Hours
Nature, architecture and history
Ferrol was built to look out to sea, protecting itself from the invasions it faced. The military arsenal is one of the city's most emblematic locations and is closely linked with its history as a naval and military center. It is situated opposite the avenue known as Los Cantones or Alameda de Suances. The silhouette of industrial activity in the city, including the shipyards, the immense beaches and the magical coast that surrounds them all make Ferrol an appealing destination where visitors can enjoy nature, architecture and history.
Right here in La Magdalena neighborhood, just outside the Parador, you will enjoy beautiful sights such as San Roque Fountain, which bears the oldest coat of arms in the city on its stone front, San Xiao Church and the Jofre Theater, one of the most important examples of theater architecture in Spain. A little over twenty minutes away by car, in the municipality of Mugardos, you can visit San Felipe Castle, another beautiful military fortress on the ria of Ferrol.
The Parador de Ferrol invites you to relax, to discover a city filled with history and to enjoy the exquisite Galician cuisine, which will never fail to please your palate.
