Global superstar Jennifer Lopez stunned staff at a renowned steakhouse in Sanxenxo, Spain, after making an unexpected late-night visit following her recent concert in Pontevedra. The Grammy-winning singer and her entourage arrived at O Xesteira around 2:00 a.m. on Wednesday, March 9, and indulged in a feast that left even the restaurant’s chef speechless.
According to Chef Luis Rodriguez, the visit was both memorable and overwhelming as Lopez and her team had an impressive appetite, enjoying a wide array of traditional Spanish dishes.
“They ate a lot. It seemed too much to me,” Rodriguez shared. “I even told the head waiter to take some dishes away because I thought they wouldn’t finish it all. But I might have regretted that—they ate everything.”
The group, which included seven people seated across two tables, enjoyed a gourmet spread featuring:
- Two portions of oxtail and cecina croquettes
- Three salads
- Grilled leeks
- A platter of cheeses
- Galician blonde loin
- Two portions of cod
- Two portions of turbot
Despite her A-list status, Jennifer Lopez’s visit remained low-key, thanks to the coordination and discretion of her security team.
“It was a totally disconcerting experience because she’s such a media figure,” said Rodriguez. “But her security team helped us manage everything smoothly beforehand.”
The visit lasted approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes, but it left a lasting impression on the restaurant’s staff and added another unique memory to Lopez’s European tour.
As J.Lo continues to captivate audiences across the globe, her genuine love for local cuisine and spontaneous stops make her all the more adored by fans and locals alike.
