For our party of seven, we had to split into two groups so we could be seated with minimal wait. Alcachofas Crocantes Con Labras De Xamón Ibérico - Sometimes we had to order a veggie dish and it becomes an easy choice when there's meat involved. Can't go wrong here with the Iberian ham. The crispness of the artichokes was amazing. Fideos Negros De Sepia Da Ría Con Alioli - This was our first time having fideo and we were glad they had the squid ink variety on their menu. I would have preferred it to be a bit drier, but it was enjoyable nonetheless. It had plenty of cuttlefish and green peas and a nice dollop of aioli. Zamburiñas Á Prancha - These were the biggest scallops that we've had all week. They were grilled and torched at the top for an even better char flavor. Solombo De Vaca Premium (200 grams) Con Verduriñas Salteadas E Patacas - A 7-oz. cut of their premium beef tenderloin, grilled medium, and lightly sprinkled with coarse salt. Very soft and tasty that made it a sin having to split the meat four ways. It was served with sautéed vegetables and potatoes. Entrecosto De Vaca Premium (300 grams) Con Verduriñas Salteadas E Patacas - A bigger cut of their premium beef sirloin and came with sautéed vegetables and potatoes also. It came out precut into bite-sized slices so it was easier to share. It was perfectly grilled too, but the texture of the solombo got my vote. Food this good was the fitting end to our once-in-a-lifetime accomplishment. The mom-owner was very kind and accommodating which made our final Galician meal even better. Our group of seven had to part ways early the next day so we said our goodbyes after dinner. It was Lisbon and Porto for the others while my wife and I were headed to the Andalusian region.

Based on the menu description, we expected some creamy white rice and chunks of lobster. But, NO! We got a small paella pan of marvelous red rice very similar to a paella, but stickier and with more tomato flavor. Each of us also got (embedded in the rice) half a lobster. OMG! A dinner to die for. This would have been a 5-star rating save for the incredibly loud atmosphere and the signature dessert of chocolate covered chestnuts which were delicious, but mealy. Still, I highly recommend Enxebre, especially if you are staying at the parador.

Pestiscos do Cardeal is a tapas restaurant in old town Santiago de Compostella. It conveniently…read moreopens for dinner at 7:00 p.m. rather than the customary 8:00 p.m. Spanish dinner hour. The menu is full of temping items. Be aware that each tapas item portion is sizable enough for sharing. (We had tapas in Barcelona where a selection was an individual serving. Perhaps the Catalonian and Galician ways with tapas differ.) I think three selections here would be sufficient for two people. The menu is in Spanish. One of the waiters could interpret some of the selections, but even a limited ability to read and order in Spanish was a definite plus. We ordered bread (Plato de Pan), Flauta Lomo con Queso, Flauta Bacon-Queso, Tapa de Chorizo Ibérico, Tapa de Jamón Ibérico and Huevos a la Cazuela. This order was delicious! But, it turned out to be a feast and would have been enough for four persons. Still, it was quite reasonably priced at about 33 Euro. The Huevos a la Cazuela was the most interesting. It is what I would describe as a skillet dish or a casserole with a baked egg on top. Very shareable or nearly a meal in itself! The Flauta in Spain is a sandwich made on a thin baguette. (Similar to, but shorter than a Bocadilla.) A Spanish Flauta is a sandwich, not the same as a Flauta in Mexican cuisine. Arriving at 7:00 p.m.there was lots of seating. By the time we left, the restaurant was quite full. Highly recommended, but come early!

As many good meals as we have had on this trip, and we had some good ones, this one stands out. Establishment appearance: good. Unassuming exterior but pleasant and comfortable on the inside. Service: excellent. From greeting to farewell,  the staff goes out of their way to make you feel welcome, and satisfied. Quality of ingredients: couldn't be better. Most still alive when you walk in the door. The waiter proudly shows some of them for your approval before they are cooked. We decided on the "Mariscada Especial" a large seafood platter for 2. A large (approx 32" long) platter layered with every shellfish you can think of, and some you may never have seen before; they even threw in some "percebes" (barnacles) a small crustacean mostly found in northern Spain and part of France and considered a delicacy, with a price to match it's reputation. Before the meal arrived, we ordered a local beer. A large basket of bread was delivered with the customary olive oil and vinegar, and a dish with  cheese, sliced toasted bread and the freshest olives I have ever tasted. We had some local wine with the food, and I'm unashamed to admit that as large as it was,  we finished our meal in its entirety. Everywhere you walk in Santiago de Compostela almond cookies or cake is offered; so we tried the almond cake for dessert and even though I had it before, it didn't disappoint. But the dinner wasn't over yet; when I requested the bill, the waiter said that we couldn't leave without trying one of the liquors they use to celebrate a special occasion. On the house, of course. He returned with 2 shot glasses and 2 bottles of liquor: one sweet and creamy, the other more tart and stronger. In my mind, we were getting a shot of our choice and then be in our way, but, after explaining the difference between the two, he said: "try them both and enjoy". He left the table and didn't return until several shots later when I hailed him back for the bill again. The next time I find myself in the area, I know where I will go for dinner, and maybe you should give them a try as well; there is a good chance you will be as satisfied as I was.
