Ourense concentrates the essence of the different gastronomic cultures of Galicia: from the coast it adopted the fondness for octopus, and from the interior the taste for meats and vegetables from the orchard.
Many of the most renowned products of Galician gastronomy are produced here, several of them protected with Denomination of Origin: Ribeiro, Valdeorras, Ribeira Sacra and D.O. Monterrei.
Bread, meat, potatoes or (of course) wine are just a small sample of the basic ingredients that with great variety and quality are present in our dishes.
