Very yummy!!! The setup of the place is typical for this area. Big wooden tables... Stone walls... The ceiling covered with greens (i.e. plants)... Very nice! The service and prices were good. We much enjoyed the live music they played later on with particular instruments.. Galician music and dance! :) Make a reservation to be sure of a table...

After our long drive up from Portugal's Douro Valley and confusing directions on how to get to the Parador, it was great to sit down for a relaxing lunch, in a welcoming atmosphere, and good service. We opted for a series of Galician appetizers and enjoyed everything. And for a Hotel restaurant and a steep exchange rate, prices were not out of line.

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.

The interior of the restaurant gave me a nice old school and homey vibe with its exposed stone walls that kind of matched the general rustic vibe of Santiago. Fortunately for us we visited during an off peak hour and were able to nab a couple of seats at the bar without a wait. We thought the servers were very friendly and definitely made sure that we were well taken care of. For instance, we never had to wait more than five minutes to get refills of wine and plates of food. Although I do not remember exactly what we had, I do not recall being disappointed with the food. Oh wait, I do remember that the zamburiñas were delicious. In fact, I think after having our first plate of zamburiñas, we order another serving towards the end of our meal. ;) In terms of price, the restaurant was a bit more expensive than a couple other local places, but it was not anything too outrageous especially as tourist.

Be prepared to speak Galician (we do) - the service will be even better and friendlier. Although set in the casco vello or medieval part of Santiago, the restaurant is not afraid to try some intriguing dishes such as algae salad with sweetened balsamic vinegar (really healthy) or sea urchin omelette. Dessert can be good as well. Reasonable prices, very nice atmosphere with stone walls. However, if you have noisy children, or sit near them, the inner area can get a bit loud toward the end of your meal. Go early, get to know the people there - a lot of regulars stop by for apperitifs. Not far from the cathedral and other parts of the historic area of this city that is becoming too full of tourists for my taste.
