Era la primera vez que íbamos y nos sorprendió gratamente. Dominan absolutamente el producto de la zona, pescado, marisco y uva albariño

Perfecto! Sobre todo para la gente que le guste “el sabor a mar”. Consiguen que a través del sentido del gusto seas capaz de “oler la Ría de Arousa”. Y, personalmente, creo que el menú es abundante y contundente, trabajado y servido con “mimo”.

Fantástico restaurante situado en el casco antiguo de Cambados. Sala elegante con separacion justa entre mesas. Personal de sala muy preparado, perfecto conocedor de lo que se cuece en cocina y con un conocimiento en vinos fantástico.

​We had a truly wonderful experience at Yayo Daporta. It strikes that perfect balance of high-end cuisine served in a relaxed atmosphere. From the moment we walked in, Esther looked after us with such warmth and friendliness—she truly made us feel welcome. ​The food was everything we hoped for and more, offering a deep dive into the flavors of Galicia traditional food. A few dishes absolutely blew us away: the crujiente de algas was stunning, and their interpretation of the centollo and cigala croqueta was delicious. The cocido was also a massive highlight. To top it off, the wine pairing was excellent, featuring a thoughtful mix of local, regional, and international labels. ​This was the first Michelin star experience for our two teenagers, and I couldn't have imagined a better place. The combination of world-class food and a welcoming, unstuffy vibe made it a memory they’ll cherish. An absolute gem in the heart of Cambados. We can’t wait to return!

Went for the exceptional tasting menu and a voyage of discovery through Galicia and the Atlantic Ocean. The combo of tastes, textures and variety was exceptional. The service was excellent, and Ioved the outside area to eat.

Our reservation was for 830pm but I think they only really open at 9pm so it was a bit of a slow start. After that, though, everything was flawless - the food was creative but delicious (not just for the sake of being different) whilst the wine pairing was the best I have had in maybe forever

Alessandra Bellini

We loved every morsel and sip. Creative delicious and so friendly. It’s a journey of discovery and taste.

Archie Howells

Beautiful food and service - creative preparation and exceptional ingredients. If you want to experience the Galician food culture in a refined environment with great wine Yayo Daporta is highly recommended.

Ming Yao Chong

Excellent presentation of seafood around the area. Good value in context of one Michelin star. Also excellent Albariño wine recommendation by the sommelier. Service is unlike London but we go for the food not the service.

Hands down the best food and wine I had in Cambados! The food was so good I forgot to take any pictures until I was half way through dessert 😁 The grilled asparagus salad is excellent as is the Galician style cannelloni. 2 star dishes stood out though - the gorgeous little pot of egg, chorizo and potato cream was outstanding and the apple empañada for dessert was one of the best desserts I've had for a long time..

Great food, lots of imagination and creativity in their dishes. Very nice service. The presentation is very well done, and creates a perfect mindset to fully appreciate the delicious food. Located in the heart of Cambados, with easy parking and accessibility.

We had a fantastic dinner at Yayo. They displayed a consistently high level of cooking that never waivered throughout the tasting menu. Highlights include a perfectly balanced chocolate desert that was never too sweet and a perfectly cooked hake kept interesting with mussels and oyster sauce. The service was impeccable and everyone was very friendly. Highly recommended.

Undoubtedly a family restaurant, but full of charm. The staff were fantastic, and moved between English and Spanish as needed (when they realised we wanted to practice!). The food is brilliant, and…

The top of the world! When a vegan asks to perform, the question always remains: will the chef be able to perform? The answer is YES! This was for us a revelation! This restaurant expanded our horiz…

Restaurante Estrella Michelín ubicado en el centro del casco histórico de cambados. Local amplio y de decoración sobria aunque un poco frío 2 menús degustación, nosotros nos decantamos por el largo.La comida es una oda al mar de principio a fin. Producto de calidad y de proximidad, algunos como las ostras cultivadas por la propia familia Daporta en sus bateas. Calidad, sabor, elaboración y originalidad en todos los platos, en un menú que va in crescendo, cada plato mejor que el anterior, y que incluso con los postres te sorprende (el queso con membrillo en texturas y el 100% Albariño son una pasada) El personal amable y agradable, pero he de decir que el servicio fue exageradamente lento. Estábamos 4 mesas con un total de 7 comensales en el restaurante, y tras 2 horas sólo habíamos comido la mitad del menú (4 platos). Es algo que se puede entender si el restaurante está lleno, pero con tan poca gente... es una cosa a mejorar

La comida bien. La ostra que es de sus bateiras, lo mejor sin duda. El camarero que nos sirvió, muy amable. La chica que presentaba los vinos muy atenta en explicarnos todo. Lo único que tienes que ir con mascarilla tiempo del que crees… nos pasamos 4h en el restaurante. Para 8 platos y 2 postres me parece excesivo. Demasiada sobremesa entre platos. Cosa que oí que comentaban los de la mesa de al lado también. Y luego esperaba que me dieran el listado de todo lo que habíamos comido como en otros restaurantes de estrella michelin. Pero no fue así. De todas formas la comida estaba deliciosa y es una experiencia a vivir.

Bien en general, lo mejor la “croqueta” de centollo espectacular por su presentacion, texturas y sabor, ¡¡un 10!! En general los platos muy bien presentados y respetando los sabores de cada producto… la navaja con canelón te transporta al mismo oceano. Los postres bien pero nada reseñable. Pasamos frio en el local y la luz de un plafón a modo de cuadro la verdad es que molestaba bastante… fue asi el unico “pero” que deberian tener en cuenta. Pedimos el menu degustación corto y aparte el vino, que la verdad tienen una bodega super amplia con vinos increibles si tu presupuesto lo permite aqui encuentras verdaderas joyas.

This review concerns their bistrot on ground floor not their Michelin restaurant The food was honestly bad, strange sauce on scallops, no taste, and plate of anchovies on seaweed pasta awful.

La comida está bastante bien, creativa pero no demasiado, efectista, sin pegas. La navaja tenía arena, algo imperdonable. El servicio deja mucho que desear, lento, demasiado confianzudo, como si fuéramos colegas. El camarero colocaba los cubiertos al revés y al hacérselo notar dijo que le habían enseñado así, o sea mal. La sumiller, que ni siquiera vino a nuestra mesa, hablaba a grito pelado. No es propio de un lugar con estrella Michelín. El local muy bonito y bien decorado

Reservado el menú The Fork de 110 euros, que incluye 100% albariño La Capitana, que no es el vino sino un postre, resulta engañoso porque realmente no incluye bebidas! La comida muy elaborada, aunque alguna parecía montada hacía horas. Nos causó ardor de estómago todo el día. El servicio rápido y profesional. El vino blanco albariño de la casa “La Capitana” bastante ácido y de buen sabor.

Para ser un estrella, ha sido una decepción. El servicio, una única persona en sala, para recibirte, servir el maridaje de vinos, la comida, atender a todas las mesas. 4 horas hemos estado para tomar el menú largo con maridaje, servicio muy muy lento. Calidad de comida, pero con sabores justos. En comparación con otros estrellas, muy justo.

A bit disappointing, very slow and pretty empty. The food was good apart from the hake which was a bit sluggy.

Mike S

3.5 Somewhat disappointing, given the tremendous reputation of the place. Premises are beautiful. Tasting menu was largely good, but some dishes more pleasing than others. The genuine disappointment came from the service, which could best be described as inattentive. I had better experiences in the other local gastronomic restaurants

Sarah Parker

Good but there were a lot of inconsistencies which I would not expect from a restaurant rated in the Michelin guide. We had the same menu as the table beside us. They had a mussel dish which came on a bed of seaweed which had dry ice poured over it for a stunning effect. So when ours arrived I was ready with my camera but there was no ice for us, leaving us feeling a bit second rate. The pork fillet looked beautiful but my husbands piece was nice tender meat where as mine was just a square of fat. The food and service were good but the consistency of the end result just let it down.

C I

Its a nice restaurant, but if you go with such a huge expectation of being a michelin restaurant, you wont be satisfied. It would have been nice if every dish had more texture,flavour and temperature variety. Again, if you dont have expectation, its a nice restaurant.

Sensaciones muy agridulces al salir del restaurante. Pedimos: - Paté de algas: nos resultó muy rico y diferente, potente sabor a mar. - Mejillones al vapor: estaban buenos. - Boquerones: para no estar en el apartado de entrantes, la cantidad de comida que trae es ridícula, estaban buenos pero 0 contundente. - Croquetas: muy ricas y cremosas. - Canelones: estaban bien. - Chocos en su tinta: el sabor de la salsa no nos gustó, demasiado fuerte, las patatas ricas. - Chuletón de cerdo: correcto. - Pulpo: muy rico y tierno (no hay foto). - Cachopo: aqui empezaron los problemas, muy duro y poquísimo queso. - Steak tartar: estaba rico con un toque picante. - Hamburguesa: aquí se coronó la comida; pedimos la carne muy poco hecha y vino como la suela de un zapato. Pedimos que la repitieran y nos dicen desde la cocina que no podían hacerla menos hecha "por seguridad"... Poca confianza nos dio en ese momento el steak tartar que es carne completamente cruda. - Arroz con leche: estaba molido y de textura extraña. - Tarta de queso: bien de sabor pero la textura no era cremosa. En fin, para el precio, demasiados detalles que no concuerdan y no corresponden con lo que pagas.

Overall bad experience. Too expensive for Galicia. Offering same dishes you can eat in a regular tapas bar but gourmet prices. Service very very slow. They make us wait an eternity for the food and it wasn’t busy at all

PLEASE DO NOT GO YO THIS RESTAURANT- FOOD POISONING . I went with my partner for her birthday, although the food in general was good, one of the plates was merluza with clams al natural, the clams tasted a bit off, we are only one each and left the rest, nevertheless, we both had food poisoning that lasted for days, ruining the whole trip,. I would expect nothing but the best and highest quality ingredients in this type of restaurant, how hard is it to select good quality fresh clams when you only put two pieces in a plate

Hannes Pardo

PLEASE READ BEFORE ATTENDING THIS RESTAURANT. Below is the email we sent to Yayo after dining at the restaurant for the 15 course special. I asked them to get back to me before posting this review to understand what had gone wrong but they failed to do so. "Myself and my partner ate in your restaurant on the 22nd and had the 15th anniversary taster menu. We were both disappointed with the meal at the time, it didn’t live up to expectations compared to other Michelin star meals we have had in the past in London, Bruge, Warsaw, Budapest etc. The ingredients were overused (the same salty but tasteless green sauce and green broth seem to have been used in almost every dish other than the brown sauce which was with the onion, tendon and consumé). The barnacles were used in at least three dishes too. The hake (merluza) was so bad, salty and tasteless that both me and my partner sent it back uneaten. The tendon was also tasteless but coated in a strong sickly sauce. The appetisers were in essence a glorified breadstick and poppadom, and there were no other amuse bouche in the meal. The only high point of the meal for me personally was the cheese dessert, the scallop dish and the wine. It would have been better if we had been able to see a selection of wines. We saw neither wine list or price points for the wine and after having asked to view the wine cellar this seem to have been forgotten. The final amuse-bouche of milk, white chocolate, biscocho and a rice crispy, although good, was underwhelmingly basic. The bread given with the meal was good and often topped up, but the oil to go with it seem to have ran out. However to make matters worse and the main reason for my email is that within 24 hours my partner was hospitalised over night for food poisoning which the doctors said was most likely due to shellfish consumption. Considering he had no other meat or seafood that day, we have identified it as being the meal that made him seriously ill. This has completely ruined the last days of the holiday for him as he is now recovering in bed." Please please please save yourselves the 200 euros of disappointment which comes from eating at this restaurant. Neither the chef nor the owner cares about the experience they offer, nor how you as the customer feel throughout or after. The food was terrible, and would not survive if it had any other michellin competition in Galicia. The evidence for this is that Gallegos DO NOT eat here. If you want to eat FANTASTIC meat take yourselves to Asador O'remo and if you want fantastic seafood Restaurante O'meca. The establishments may not have the "class" that goes with Michellin stat meals, but if you want the taste that is supposed to go with michllin star meals do not waste your time or money at Yayo.
