Don't. Just don't. Went with my mum to eat sth typical but not a good exp. Didn't take any pictures but the pulpo with 3 slices of potato was just saved by the sause. Waitress running and disrespectful. Food not at the level of Galicia in general. Don't be fooled by the fresh fish. Not good place to eat, maybe just better go grab a beer and a few 'montaditos' there. Bye

It was the first place we tried here, and it was a remarkable experience. The entrees are delicious and ne aware that they are very generous portions, the meat was tender and on point and the service not only was always attentive but spoke to us in perfect English Would definitely recommend.

We came here for dinner and were seated quickly. We got the menus in Spanish and shown a QR code to access the menus in English as well. Once our order was taken, we were eating and drinking within 3 minutes, which is insanely quick for a pretty busy restaurant! All the food was great and the prices were fair, so would definitely recommend this place.

Great offering of tapas and wine, other drinks too. Well located by the center of the tourist area as well. Check out the killer steak we had too.

Fantastic tapas. We sat at the bar and chose those we fancied. The meats looked amazing although we didn’t have any today. Selection was great.

Quite a treat after our days on the Camino. The entricote steak, mixed salad and ginger ice cream with strawberry compote were all terrific. Service was top shelf. We dined outside where it was quite a bit quieter than outside. Very nice.

Amazing place to eat. The lamb chops were some of the best I've ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection and the price was great for the quality you are getting. Great for a last meal on the Camino.

Good location, in the main street, not far from the cathedral. The tapas are good and the main courses are fine as well. The service is not great. Naturally when the place is crowded the stress increases but it is not the client's fault.... Better treatment required

Great place close to the cathedral. The food very well seasoned. The place has tapas at the entrance and full restaurant at the back of the restaurant

Great quality food for fair prices. Service was really nice and we had a very chill dinner here. Place is always busy, no wonder why. The scallops and steak 10/10.

Excellent service and truly Galego. Waiter David was very helpful with the choice of wines and menu in general.

Best pinchos in town and realy great 'chuleton de rubia gallega' steak. Pair it with a great wine and some Porto after dinner. Great experience.!

Super tasty and reasonable price. A wonderful spot for celebrating the completion of Camino.🤟 This place is super popular. Either you come when it's just open or resevation ahead via website.

Really nicely decorated restaurant and tapas bar. We only stopped in for a drink and a quick bite. Had just one tapa which was very nice. The staff were very efficient and the rest of the food looked really good. We sat at the bar but the restaurant area looked very inviting. The menu is worth having a go at and so is the tapas

Croquettes were really nice. Bomba was ok not great. Patatas bravas were fine. Deer meatballs were nice and the flavour was rich; the sauce with them was great. The stuffed peppers were good but too much sauce on them. Cheesecake was good but no biscuit base and the pineapple on top looked great but didnt taste so good. Wines were tasty and well priced. Staff were friendly, service was fast.

Really good meat, octopus and several other Galician delicacies. Good service as well. You can walk-in, but better to reserve a table in advance. We went in once and to return with friends and family on day 2. It was really good!😊

Excellent place. The tapas are incredible. Octopus and entrecot among the best I've ever eaten. Attention was also quick and effective. Prices are very good, given the quality of the food served. Surely I'll be back sooner rather than later.
