There is indoor and outdoor seating, the outdoor seats tend to fill up quickly. Although I didn't order any food, it looked tasty enough and was quite popular with the locals. Prices are on par with the area and the ambiance is charming with cheerful and friendly service. When I was here the servers didn't speak English however they put up with my rudimentary Spanish. You can also purchase local tinned fish and various liqueurs here.

Vigo was a port of call on our cruise. After a day of just wandering around town & a little…read moreshopping, we wanted to sit and have a little snack & sangria. We stopped in on the way back to the ship. They are really close to the port, so there were other people sitting at their outdoor tables. The place is pretty much a hole in the wall catering to tourists. But at least the prices aren't crazy high. We had a pitcher of sangria which arrived with a crap load of ice. I mean, it was pretty much a pitcher of ice with a bit of sangria. It wasn't bad. But it wasn't a proper sangria. We also ordered croquetas and patatas. The croquetas were ok, we just could not figure out what kind of croquetas they were. The patatas were good and fresh cut, not frozen. Service was blah. But for being geared towards tourists, our total was about 18€. Don't go in expecting fantastic Spanish food though.

Because of the strong breeze from the ocean, I asked the waiter if I could be seated inside. He was a very jovial and friendly guy and had no problem with this. He promptly brought out my cafe solo with a standard bizcocho (the little cakes you can purchase at the supermarket) and allowed me to revitalize myself. The waiter pulled an excellent shot because it was strong, of the perfect thickness, and had a subtle hint of sweetness towards the bottom of the espresso. The biggest surprise of all was that the espresso cost me 1 euro. The bocadillos were also priced fairly. In such a touristy area, I would have expected much higher prices. Although it is not yet tourist season, I imagine that this bar must be very full once all of the beachgoers arrive. With a spacious patio, there is space for everyone on a sunny day.

A professional contact of mine recommended a visit to A Gula, in order to observe the ambiance and wine selection of a typical Galician vinoteca. (My long-term career goal is to open a Galician vinoteca in New York.) The ambiance, indeed, is very rustic and what you would expect from a Spanish vinoteca - barrels of wine line the entrance, bottles of wine fill the shelves, the tables and bar are made of rustic, dark wood. I ordered a glass of the house albariño and for approximately 2 euro, I enjoyed a slightly acidic, slightly flinty, fruity wine. It paired perfectly with my sardinillas prepared in the Galician style - with olive oil, tomatoes, onion, and a few slices of barra gallega bread [1]. The portion was generous (I received 15-20 sardines for about 7 euro); the fish were extremely fresh and had the rich flavors of the ocean that make sardines one of my favorite dishes from Galicia. Although I could not kiss anyone for the following 2 days, this meal in the sake of "research" proved very helpful in that I examined elements of the vinoteca that make it a successful and popular go-to spot in Vigo. Be sure to visit A Gula on Friday evenings - the special of the day is pulpo! [1] The sardinillas served here (and in many parts of Galicia) are much tinier than those we are accustomed to in the United States. You can eat the entire fish - bones, head, and tail! Oh, and that fishy smell is non-existent - that goes for all seafood here in Galicia.
