«There are restaurants that survive because they know how to adapt, and there are those that survive because they refuse to give in. Cera 23 would be one of the latter. In a neighborhood as constantly transforming as the Raval, this small spot on Cera Street is celebrating its fifteenth anniversary.»
El Periodico
«From Santiago de Compostela to Dublin. From Dublin to the Raval. And from the Raval, to success. This could summarize the life and professional journey of the Galicians Carlos García, Guillermo Dosil, and Rubén Bermúdez, owners of several restaurants (Cera 23, Arume, Louro, Viana, and Gran Viana) and a cocktail bar (Never).»
El Periodico
«The weekend is approaching, and the same dilemma, the same question, always comes up. Which restaurant should we go to? We don’t have the definitive answer, but we do have one that might be pretty close to what you’re looking for. That’s why we’ve selected three restaurants to visit this weekend. Here they are. Enjoy!»
Cronica Global
«Beyond first impressions, the Raval neighborhood hides culinary gems worth discovering, such as Cera23, a restaurant serving a fusion of Mediterranean and Galician cuisine. The owners didn’t fuss over the name and simply borrowed the number and street name of the location.»
