The Fernández Monzonís family's kitchen since 1962
There are very few places to eat in the Cíes and this is the biggest: the campsite restaurant, on Faro island, also open to those who only come for the day. It has been run by the Fernández Monzonís family since 1962. It has a large dining room and terraces overlooking the lake and Rodas beach.
It works in two ways. The self-service is for a light, quick meal, with simple dishes. The table service is for sitting down at leisure and ordering from the menu.
Octopus, fish from the estuary and Rodas razor clams
The cooking is home-style. The most local thing is the octopus, á feira or in caldeirada, and fresh fish from the estuary grilled. The house highlights the goose barnacles and razor clams from Rodas beach. For starters there are salads, tuna belly, empanada, salpicón, peppers stuffed with seafood, grilled prawns and home-made croquettes. For mains, rice dishes and fideuá, squid, pasta, roast chicken, meatballs, braised veal, entrecôte, lamb chops or fillet steak.
The desserts are also home-made: crêpes, flan, custard, baked or semifreddo cheesecake and ice cream. The wine list is wide and mostly Galician, with albariño, ribeiro and mencía. The website does not publish prices.
For children there is a menu of its own: nuggets, san jacobo, pizza, milanesa, pork loin, sausages or fried eggs. There are vegan dishes and options for intolerances: ask the staff.
Island hours
Self-service breakfasts from 8:30 to 11:30 (toast, fresh juice, fruit, cold cuts, omelette, pastries), lunches from 13:00 to 16:00 and dinners from 21:00 to 23:00. It only opens while the campsite is open: in 2026, Easter and from 15 May to 14 September. You cannot book a table; groups of more than 20 can write to arrange it. The restaurant's phone is 986 687 504 and its WhatsApp, 690 830 016. According to the campsite, almost all the businesses on the island accept cards.
Between the route and the beach
It fits in the middle of the day in the Cíes from Vigo: in the morning, the Monte Faro route to the lighthouse; after lunch, the afternoon on Rodas beach, the one you see from the terraces. If you sleep at the campsite, it is also your dinner.
What to order: pulpo á feira or in caldeirada, and grilled fish from the estuary; for something quick, the self-service
