“Evolving, committed, audacious. ”
Evolving, committed, audacious. These seem to be appropriate adjectives to describe the cuisine offered by Xosé T. Cannas at his restaurante Pepe Vieira "Camiño da Serpe" recently the winner of its first Michelin star. On property owned by the family in the district of Raxó (Pontevedra), he and his brother Xoan Torres Cannas, sommelier and Nariz de Oro (Nose of Gold) 2004-who has chosen the wines for this selection of recipes-have raised a spectacular building to house their restaurant. An untiring researcher, Xosé, founder of Grupo Nove (created to update Galician cuisine), focuses on regional products and gastronomy, but casts off some of the old-school customs. Tradition is seen as the starting point, the basis for creating open, discerning cuisine with an identity.[break]Xosé's extensive experience in kitchens in Canada, Scotland and France has convinced him that the magic of cuisine lies not in tricks nor artifice but, above all, in total respect for product quality."
