Great little new place! Pontevedra is a rather small town…read morewhere things don't tent to change much but lately some more innovative business have opened. This cafe/tapas bar has a great decor and a great ambiance making it a breath of fresh air. Their wine list is elaborate and away from conventional more main stream wineries. I had the mussels and the carpaccio and finished with a superb sweet/salty chocolate soufflé. I have a feeling that this will turn to be my new favourite spot when in town.

I had a selection of anchovies, cheeses, jamon picante (muy bueno), salmon and three different wines. All were excellent as was the cheese with organic quince jelly for dessert . The service was excellent and overall a very enjoyable experience. You must visit Tabula Rasa when in Pontevedra.

I normally go there to have a drink before lunch, and enjoy one of they tapas. I highly recommend the tostas of their revueltos, but do not hesitate to ask as they will always give you advice. If you are not very hungry, don't you worry as you will get some free food with your drink. They have a small sitting area outside overlooking the square that tend to be packed when the sun if out. Prices are not very high making this place great value for money!

Got the tosta de pulpo (octopus toast) and the solomillo al Roquefort. Both were good. I ordered…read morethe house Rioja crianza red wine and a red from Ribera del Duero.

This tiny tapas bar has been in this square since I can remember.it used to be only focused on…read moreselling wine but some years ago was refurbished and it caters now to a much wider audience. Their menu is not very extensive and it is compose entirely of tapas or small portions. Service is very fast and over the summer the kitchen is open until 1 in the morning....what can I say, we love eating late! I had the chipirones, calamares and the local empanada and it was delicious. When in doubt about the quantity do not hesitate to ask the waiter. This place is a must if you are in town!

The location is great, in a historical stone plaza. However, the furniture is cheap (plastic tables…read moreand chairs), and does not announce neither contributes to the experience. The service is kind of good enough. It is fast and effective, but not friendly, at moments could be close to rede. This is to say that you would neither come here for the design, nor for the non-super-welcoming service. You would come for the food. And the food is good, refined and to a great extend creative. The pulpo hotdogs maybe the most creative, though not the most refined. The cabra probably the best for me. Worth given a try.

This is What You call a classic!its been around ever since I can recall!!…read moreThis place has it all! It's a cafe a restaurant and it can also hold medium size events. It's located right bang in the center of the city and its has as its outdoor sitting area a park!! The food has improved over the last years,now offering a much modern take on local classics but they also offer traditional Galician dishes such as the octopus or the "croquetas" Downstairs they have a tavern, that it's great for having a glass of wine with a tapas, that are always free. Every other minute one of the waiters will walk around with a tray full of tapas and your can take as many as you want!yes free. My advise if you are planning on having lunch at some point is not to over do it as it's likely it will kill your appetite! That being said if it's your first time, you should definitely indulge in a tapas feast all mixed with the local wines on offer!
