One of our favorite restaurants in Santiago. Jaime the owner is terrific. We enjoyed a lightly fried squid starter with spicy aioli and black ink aioli. The primary course was a fresh seafood stew with rice. For desert we had a delicious cheesecake made with blue cheese. Sounds strange but it was terrific. Plus an chocolate sponge cake with vanilla ice cream and bourbon. Nice Galician Brandy, too. Strongly recommend.

Loved this restaurant. I walked in on an impulse, was seated on a bar overlooking the fish cooler, because they were full. Service was impeccable, I had the pilgrim's menu (I walked into Santiago an hour earlier, finishing my Camino) which was delicious and cheap. The salad, with baked tomatoes and a lump of cheese over rokula, with basil dressing, was a rare experience.

We discovered BenBoa on our first day in Santiago. After collecting our Compostela, we were hungry & wanted to taste something other than pilgrims ‘typical’ cuisine. We were blown away by the fantastic foodie experience. BenBoa is one of the we finest yet not pretentiousness restaurant in Spain! The tomates w anchovy & soft cheese with crusty grainy bread & Albariño wine was ever so good!! I loved it so much I came back on my own again the very next day! In the evening, I brought my friends & this time we shared the grilled squid & my friends had the same tomates salad & bread while I chose the cheesecake — secret recipe > you gotta try it! And to top it off, we were graciously gifted with a taste of Jamie’s own crafted liquor- what a treat!!

A “Real Foody Gem” in the Historical Centre of Santiago de Compostela!! Original Rustic Antique Deco, Super & Kindly staff Attention The Manager “Jaime” and His Second On board “David” were looking after us all the time. The Food was Incredible Tasty Wow..!! I couldn’t eat more cause I didn’t have any more room at all..!! Hahaha I definitely will come back again and again..!! Is going to be One of the Best Kept Secrets I will love to to share..!! And I’m SPANISH..!!

Wandered in one evening for a drink. Super stylish place with extensive choice of local wine. Good choice for a relaxed drink or something to eat. 👍

This is a great find in Santiago! Fresh and local food prepared in a creative way. The octopus ‘Hot Dog’ was amazing. Lovely seafood salads and wonderful desserts, too. The interior is cosy, but there’s a nice outdoor space in the back, too. Great group working there!

Amazing evening with wine and very tasty food. We enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and really friendly staff. Stay great!

I have only one word - GREAT! You can go in with the dog, the staff is very friendly! The food is amazingly tasty! Better with reservation.

Really surprised and impressed by the quality of food which is local and very well dressed👍

excellent restaurant! The food is excellent and we received a warm welcome from the staff. If you want top food in the centre of Santiago, this is the place. I love that they use local specialties but cook them with a twist (octopus hotdog for example). That said they have more traditional dishes too. As a seafood lover I was very pleased!

Great sea food. A beautiful tasteful cuttlefish in their own ink. The monkfish was also extremely tasteful and the hamburger super meat. And friendly service

Nice mid range spot near the market. Serving up a bunch of really nice seafood dishes. Trending towards $$ in price but the portions are generous. Expect to pay around 20-30 per person with drinks. Highlights were the prawn in brioche bun and clams. Bread served up was also very tasty.

Excellent service. Responsive and helpfully was able to assist with the English translation. Probably our best dinner in Galicia so far. I had the pork culet, more like a rack, which fell off the bone. Good gluten free choices and gluten free bread offered.

The food was fabulous!! We had grilled octopus and spider crab salad, both were to die for! Excellent chef, service and atmosphere!!

Very tasty starters. Crab salad was amazing 🦀 v chunky. The croquettes were delightful. Highly recommend. Lots of locals on board too.

Absolutely amazing, a real gem! Great atmosphere, awesome food, friendly vibe, you can see that they take care of every detail. We are so happy we stumbled across this restaurant and would love to come again!

This was a fantastic dinner. The staff suggested several specialties and they were all delicious. We enjoyed the grilled octopus and a crab specialty. Highly recommend.

The Polbo Hot Dog is definitely a must. One of the best dishes to eat in Santiago
