Luis Veira at the top of Monte de San Pedro
Árbore da Veira is chef Luis Veira's Michelin-starred restaurant on the Estrada Os Fortes, inside the Monte de San Pedro park. It is the high part of the west of the city, above the Atlantic, with the bay and the Tower of Hercules in the distance. The same house runs, on the same hill, the Taberna 5 Mares, its informal version of dishes to share.
Semente, Raíces or Árbore
There is no à la carte here: you eat one of the three tasting menus, and all include appetisers and petit fours.
- Semente, €65: five dishes and two desserts.
- Raíces, €80: eight dishes and two desserts.
- Árbore, €95: twelve dishes and three desserts.
The website does not publish a wine pairing price: ask about wines when you sit down. The short menu leaves time for a walk on the hill afterwards; the long one calls for a lingering table.
Watch the times: at midday, Semente and Raíces can be ordered until 15:00, and Árbore until 14:30; in the evening, any of the three until 21:30.
Árbore's week
It opens on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10:00 to 18:00; on Friday and Saturday from 10:00 to 22:30, and on Sunday from 11:00 to 17:00. On Tuesday it is closed. In practice, dinner is served only on Friday and Saturday; the rest of the days it is a lunch restaurant.
Booking without losing the table
Book with the form on their website, which works through TheFork, or on 981 078 914. A confirmation email arrives, which sometimes lands in the spam folder. The important thing: you must confirm by phone on the same day, before 12:00 for lunch and before 20:00 for dinner. Unconfirmed bookings are cancelled.
Pets are not allowed. The website says nothing about a children's menu or parking; you drive up by the Os Fortes road, the same one that leads to the park.
Gifts and celebrations
The house sells gift boxes with the Raíces or Árbore menu, with optional wine or extras (Semente is not included in the boxes). Under the name AMar Eventos it also organises wedding banquets in the same place.
To round off the day without a car, the plan A day in A Coruña without a car combines the Tower of Hercules, the aquarium and the bike ride with lunch on the hill.
What to order: the eight-dish Raíces menu if it is your first time; mention allergies when booking and confirm the table by phone on the same day
