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!

Our waiter was very attentive and prompt, even though he was one of only two waiters on duty when we visited (at 8PM, which is early my Madrid standards). Highly recommended, and I'll be back next trip!

We ended up stating a bit longer; ordering 3 glasses of wine as well as 2 tapas plates. The falafel was great as well as the chicken pita!

Use the salt and seasoned olive oil bowl on the table to sprinkle over both sides of your steak as you cook it to the temp you like on the hot stone they bring you. The meal included a delicious fresh salad with tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and the most flavorful olive oil sprinkled over the salad- plus plenty of crispy, perfectly salted fries, a drink, and coffee or dessert. We upgraded from the 35 euro for 2 people to 40 euro because we were both starving and wanted more meat - 1 kilogram. We devoured that steak! We cooked it medium rare, but still needed to cook a couple of pieces a little longer, but our stone plate was no longer hot. The lady working the bar and waiting tables came right over and brought us a hot stone. She and the chef in the back were so friendly and helpful. Our total meal was 42 euro - probably because I added a big bottle of water to our drink orders of one coke and hot tea. I actually had two hot mint teas - called "infusion" because the tea was so flavorful. It was a little more expensive, but we'll worth it! We would definitely stop here again- even though we were both to full to finish the fries!
