Please be aware that reservations for A Cofradia de Rinlo are a must (no ifs, ands or buts). Also,…read morereservations can only be made in person or over the phone. Even with a reservation, the restaurant will call a couple of times to confirm your arrival. I think this has something to do with ensuring that the arroz caldoso de marisco (if you order this dish) is properly prepared upon your arrival (i.e., so the rice isn't over cooked). We had a pretty nice experience at the restaurant. Although the arroz caldoso de marisco is listed for 2 people, the portions are very generous, and I think three maaaaybe four people could share the dish. Maybe four people could share the dish if other items from the menu are ordered. The dish arrived packed with clams, shrimp, and a split lobster. I think there might have been some other things in there. ;) Overall, service was decent. It wasn't super-friendly, but our servers were not rude The restaurant appears to be super popular, so I think the service team is in constant go, Go, GO mode. While everything went well with our meal, I was a bit annoyed by the flies. However, I think that comes with the territory of eating in a semi-open air restaurant that is near the sea. Also, it probably didn't help that we were sitting near the lobster tank.

The server brought the meat out for us to look at, it was a thick slab of beef individually wrapped and labeled, presumably to prove it was the real deal. We asked for them to cook the beef medium rare and although it looked like it was cooked properly the texture of the meat was terrible, extremely hard to chew and not at all flavorful. The meal was a huge disappointment and definitely not worth the cost.

What a great local gem…read more We stayed here a few days in an appartement just across the street. This place had some good reviews and looked very inviting. It's a small Chiringuito sitting on a lawn, close to the ocean. There's a tent in case of bad weather and a good number of tables outside. Dogs allowed anywhere, which was great. There's a menu, but they got some daily specials, be sure to check on them and ask. Soda, beer and wine available. Staff and chef/owner here were great. Fast, friendly, helpful. The food is cooked freshly by order, portions are good sized and prices more than fair. They got some great galician specialties on the menu, seafood, as well as sandwiches and other items. We came here every night (it's open for lunch and then again for dinner). On these days we had Chorizo, Spanish Tortilla, Clams, Mussels, Tuna Panini, ham (Lacón a la gallega), and octopus (pulpo a la feria). Always a bottle of wine with. All together it did cost around 45 Euros. Good value for the location, the freshness of the ingredients and the quality. Chorizo was really flavourful and tender, Spanish Tortilla big and could feed a whole family. The mussels and clams were plenty and tasted like they just came out of the ocean. Great stuff. The most amazing items were the traditional galician dishes. The ham with potatoes (Lacón a la gallega) was fantastic. Great, tender and juicy piece of ham. On top of a good load of potatoes, some oil and paprika powder. A wonderful meal. Same goes for the divine octopus (pulpo a la feria). Same preperation as the ham. Octopus seems like an easy dish. But cook it to short, too long, too hot or cold...and it ends up chewy. This one here was cooked to perfection. So, this place here is a fantastic find. Great authentic food. Location, quality, staff. All full points. I miss this place and the good times we've had here.

With table service, you can order from any of the vendors, and after starting with a basket of crusty bread, we had the Pulpo a la Plancha from Casa Maria. This was a whole grilled octopus tentacle served over turnip greens and boiled potato, all dressed with paprika oil. We also had the rice of the day from Le Petit Tamboril, which was a paella of rice boiled in a yellow seafood broth along with chunks of shrimp and calamari. The rice had a deep, umami, seafood flavor from the broth and perfectly crispy, caramelized bits (socarrat) on the bottom of the pan.

We were attacked by the pizza maker claiming that we left two plastic cups outside of the establishment. Mind you that there wasn't a garbage can in sight.
