Noa Gastro Lounge Noa Boutique Hotel, Santa Cruz, A Coruña - SPAIN
Noa Gastro Lounge is a restaurant that is a tribute to the product, where they want to provide the opportunity to explore the taste and purity of Galicia. The essence and authenticity of the raw material involves caring for and cooking with the best techniques. The grill, the embers, the direct fire... Looking for the precise cooking points and playing with nuances, holm oak or charcoal, among many other combinations. They are friends with Galician fish markets where seasonal products cannot be missed to offer freshness. We are nourished by the environment, the garden of the sea and the mountains. In the winery a perfect harmony with the kitchen has been achieved, with great national and international references. A simple and direct kitchen. As paradoxical as it may seem, offering the palate the simplicity of the product is a laborious task. Thanks to this authenticity of the flavor, the customer will be able to evoke taste memories and create new records.
