The Galician restaurant ‘O Cabo’ has a star dish that it has taken to the top of the 17th edition of the Spanish Omelette Championship, held in Alicante. Its potato omelette is the best potato omelette in this ranking in which the Betanzos omelette by Alejandro Oliveira from La Falda (Madrid) has taken second place. Meanwhile, the bronze medal went to chef Samu Curbeira, from Café Ankha (El Ferrol).
The secret formula behind Spain’s best potato omelette is held by chef Ramón Rodríguez, who now takes over from Pedro José Román of the Cañadío restaurant in Cantabria, which won the title in 2023. The chef described his interpretation of the national classic based on the power of simplicity as a ‘very simple omelette, which is nothing special, that everyone likes’.
The jury, chaired by Rafael García Santos and made up of leading figures from the culinary world such as the journalist Pepa Fernández and the pastry chef Paco Torreblanca, wanted to highlight the high level of the omelettes that competed in the final of the competition, which featured representatives from seven autonomous communities.
Among all the high-end versions, the chef from ‘O Cabo’ won the recognition and a prize worth 3,000 euros, among other participants such as Alberto García Ponte, from Mesón O Pote (Betanzos); Ricardo Martín, from Posada Pradorey (Gumiel del Mercado) or Pedro José Román, from Cañadío (Santander).
