Dining room in the back

Great service Great atmosphere but their acoustics are bad and it becomes very loud Food was great except for the beef which was not very tender.

Cheese appetizer

Such an amazing place to celebrate finishing a small portion of the Camino! One of the best meals I've ever had! Our waiter was so attentive but not at all overbearing. Don't miss the fried artichokes - amazing!!

An excellent place to enjoy Galician gastronomy. We shared their "rock octopus" with an "A Noiesa salad" and a slice of "Tarta de Santiago". Washing it all down with a dry Albariño, everything exceeded expectations. Make sure to reserve a table in advance- it's a popular place!

Exceedingly mediocre Galician restaurant catered to tourists…read more  Although I stayed in Santiago a mere weekend, I enjoyed delectable Galician cuisine in the quaint establishments around town. Not here. Eating our way around Spain, my friend and I were thrilled to try a highly-rated restaurant our first night in Santiago. Instead, we found disappointment. We were seated in the basement since there was private event on the ground floor. The décor is Galician (read: medieval). Stone walls and wood furniture, plus sparse lighting, transports you to a tavern millennium back. The vivacious ambiance warmed the crisp evening. Around us, groups of pilgrims celebrated the end of a long trip. Our waiter greeted us with a hefty tourist menu that proffered endless dishes in multiple languages. We ordered lightly, having partook a five-course tasting lunch.   = Food =   Galician king scallop (€4.80): Baked scallops au gratin with breadcrumbs and white wine sauce. Supposedly. Meager scallops coupled with meager flavoring makes for a dish so ordinary it is resistant to critique. Was the scallop fresh and juicy? No idea. Was the sauce balanced and complementary? Who knows. We did not finish this shadow of a proper baked scallop. Grilled razor shells (€15): Navajas cooked with white wine, paired with lemon. We were both obsessed with razor clams (known as navallas or navajas). These clams were juicy, with a moderately chewy consistency. Regrettably the faint fishiness and the gunky guts detracted our enjoyment. The lemon slice helped somewhat. Padrón peppers: These small green peppers are one of my favorite dishes in Spain. The coalition of the sweet green flesh, the bitter white filaments, the picante seeds, and the light dust of salt, is irresistible. The peppers were good, but extraordinarily over-salted. The Spanish tend to salt more than Americans, but never had I needed to swab the salt off before eating each of these. Panna cotta: average. Flan: good consistency and egg flavor. Could use stronger caramel and lower baking temperature for a smoother texture, but otherwise adequate. Mousse crumble: not sure exactly what this dish was, as it was mis-delivered (in place of the panna cotta). Once we informed our waiter of the mistake, he quickly brought us the panna cotta and let us keep this mousse. It was a heavy for my taste.   = Verdict = This restaurant was likely popularized by the NYT feature nine years ago. Spirited ambiance and large menus make this restaurant a good spot for big groups. But falls short for foodies looking to savor good Galician cuisine.

This restaurant is casual yet it could be a bit more relaxed. Do try the langostinos with passion…read morefruit as well as the solomillo, both dishes were great. The albóndigas were underwhelming and I couldn't tell there was foie in them at all.

One of the culinary highlights on my last visit to Santiago. Went for lunch and tried, between me…read moreand my boyfriend, the dishes from the daily menu - 2 starters, 2 mains, plus dessert. And this was definitely a very good choice, as everything seemed to be very fresh - they are located just across a public market, after all - and well prepared. The seasonality of their menu is paired perfectly with modern, inspired flavours, but it also respects those things that time established and perfected: good cheeses, a beautiful wine menu and, for me one of the most crucial details, good, freshly baked bread, that they slice in your view. And the space itself is gorgeous, ample and contemporary, with a bold use of proportion and color. There's also the convoluted, yet extremely comfortable, furniture. Truly nice architecture and interiors work, enhanced by the jazzy music. The staff is knowledgeable about the food and has an easygoing, elegant way of making you feel welcome. My only reservation about the whole experience was the portion size: some dishes were very generous while others were quite small, and this wasn't from a tapas menu. We were sharing everything so that wasn't a problem at the time. Very good value overall and I hope that it's still around next time I'm in Santiago.
