    It seems that it is a very famous local tapas bar. You can enjoy sea food as well as typical Spanish tapas.

    Very good food and service. Special mention to Pablo, who is just amazing. It could do with some background music but otherwise very good. Service is always very friendly. The bread basket is huge and other dishes are fairly priced.

    Omg!!! Zamburinas and polos were to die for! I should also mention that our waiter Pablo went above and beyond with service, he even took a better picture and did a performance with octopus cutting 👌🏻😁 I’d say it was one of the best octopus I’ve ever had in whole Europe!

    Classic in Vigo! We had a great lunch, product is so fresh, delicious, and full of flavors. We tried the grill octopus, zamburiñas, grilled mushrooms… good albariño selection… You need to book in advance, or be patient when arriving… but it definitely worth it

    The waiter is absolutely incredible. Garlicky shrimps are a must. Lovely place.

    What an amazing experience in Vigo. Everything that we taste was really nice. Even without a properly table we had a great time. And the empathy of everyone was great.

    Comida buenísima, cantidades generosas, un ambiente guay y unos empleados muy majos. Disfruté la experiencia en en este local, lo recomiendo! —— The food at Tapas Areal is delicious and the portion sizes are super generous. The atmosphere is really great as well. In addition, the employees are wonderful. They’re super friendly and attentive. I enjoyed my experience here and definitely recommend the restaurant.

    Seafood is the boss here and it tastes pretty good, really. Octopus was very fresh and soft (my dining partner wished for less salt and more paprika, though) and the monkfish/king prawn skewer was on point (but we wished the portion was larger). They also served a cute little fried tapas to start.

    If I already reviwed this place, I'm deeply sorry for troubling you with the confirmation that.. This place is awesome!! I came here twice about 3 years ago, when I found it, it was a differentiated tipical spanish tapas place, the counters filled with plates of most varied and colorful "tapas and pinchos", nonetheless, all was so good, tasty and innovative, with an enormous crowd gathered inside and out.. A few years after and a WWP (that's the acronym for World Wide Pandemic), the "Tapas Areal" kept its DNA of good food, good ingredients, differentiated creative cuisine and an attention to customer that makes you feel welcome. Most definitely, a place to return and that I recomend!

    Nice place Very good quality food Will be back

  • 4/5 Linda K. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place, good choice of tapas. The prices are a little bit over the average. The service should be improved. Our tapas were served, but they forget about the wine that we ordered.

  • 5/5 Enric P. 10 months ago on Google
    Excellent restaurant in the center of Vigo. The restaurant does not make reservations so if you don’t want to wait, go early. I arrived by 1pm and they opened by 1:05pm. By then there were 2 more couples waiting, which is always a good sign. Their pulpo a la gallega is probably the best one I’ve ever had, it had some texture yet it was super tender at the same time. Ask for what empanadas they have of the day. We tried the anchovies one and it was outstanding. Try to make some room for desserts too, you’ll see them once you are entering the restaurant :)

    We had an amazing night at tapas areal. The waiters were amazing and were super flexible to accommodate our dietary needs. They made special dishes for vegetarians and suggested a great choice of tapas in the right quantity to share. To top the great experience off, the owner came to talk to us and let us try some of his digestives. And did I mention the great quality of the food, the fair prices and the great vines?! Thanks to the entire team!

    What an incredible experience. My Aibnb host recommended this place and he said not to look for the price. And I didn't and waiter didn't even gave me a menu with prices. So happy for this as if I would see the prices I wouldn't stay. But omg the food was so amazing, so delicious. I went after to one very good pulpo restaurant in Santiago and it just wasn't so good like here. Now I have a problem that octopus in other places is not like in Tapas Areal. It is worth to return to Vigo just for the food here. 10 ✨ stars and I hope to see you soon

😠 Muy mal servicio, encontre un insecto en mi comida y la camarera cuando se lo dige cogio un cuchillo y arrasto el insecto por todo el plato sin pedir disculpas ni traer un plato nuevo y limpio. Esperando que lo comiera. Scandalous how I ordered a pancake and I got it with a bug in the fruits, when...
