Melt-in-your-mouth Octopus…read more This place is so good we went back the next time we were in A Coruña. It's also easy to get to - just a couple of short blocks from the main square (the one with the Obelisk). I have never had Octopus so tender and flavorful. The generous portion comes with potatoes, crusty bread and a starter for 20 Euros. Also enjoyed a couple of glasses of Estrella beer - so refreshing. Also recommend the Scallops and the Prawns. The staff is welcoming and attentive. If you have never tried Octopus, get out of you safety zone and give it a go - I'm betting you will be glad you did.

After spending four hours touring A Coruña and soaking in all its historical charm, we found…read moreourselves absolutely starving at 12:00 PM. The tour had mentioned that octopus is one of the most beloved dishes in A Coruña, so I knew I had to try it. But where? I turned to Yelp and searched for the best octopus nearby. My answer appeared almost immediately, A Taberna de Cunqueiro, just a five-minute walk through the enchanting old town, boasting nearly a 5-star rating with 37 reviews. When we arrived, the place was packed, buzzing with locals and tourists alike. Just as I was scanning the room, probably looking a bit lost, a friendly waitress caught my eye. With a big smile and a cheerful "hola," she seated us right away. She went above and beyond, recommending the best tapas selections to start, and before we even had a chance to order, she brought over a warm bowl of potaje and jamón ham con pan--such a thoughtful touch! We ordered two refreshing local draft beers, Estrella de Galicia, and dug into the delicious appetizers. The casa croquettes, Iberian ham, small scallops, and of course, the Galician octopus, were all simply amazing. Each bite was a true taste of Galicia's culinary brilliance. After a second round of beers, we were so stuffed that we had to call it a day just as they were preparing to close at 2:00 PM for their lunch break. This spot has an amazing vibe and you can tell it's one of the locals favorite as it reas full of young people adding to the energy. This place quickly became one of my favorite while in A Coruña and merits multiple visits. Did I also mention that owner was in the kitchen making sure this packed place functioned like a well oiled machine. The vibe is so authentic, the staff are incredibly friendly, and the food? Unforgettable. I couldn't even imagine giving anything short of 5 star review definitely be back next time I'm in town!

You can order many of the wines by the glass, or buy bottles to take away with you like in an off licence. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. There is also a counter that sells plates of cheese, hams and chorizo that you can share as you sample the wines. There is a restaurant upstairs although this wasn't open when I visited. The only downside is that due to import tax, they can't send wine to the UK!

Thankfully, we came into Casa Florencio right as they were shutting down and they indulged us for a while before we had to head out again. What fantastic hospitality!

Stopped by for a late dinner around 9:00pm. There's a variety of flat bread tapas in the bar…read moredisplay which are very cheap. None of them piqued my interest so we ordered from the menu which conveniently was in English, Spanish and Galician. The fried calamari was cheap and so delicious here, I even thought about ordering more afterwards. The solomillo and fries were good as a filling plate. Might have to pass on the croquetas; not a big fan of the seafood squid ink one. I'm sure there are better places around, but price wise everything was very affordable here. It was empty at first which concerned me, but filled with several other small parties by the time we left. Our waiter was courteous and did speak some English as I met him halfway with my Spanish too; I'm sure he appreciated it because a lot of other English speaking tables were struggling hard.
