We shared a number of dishes, mainly seafood, and these were delicious. The house wine was also good. The portions are abundant... Let the restaurant prepare a variety of desserts to share! 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...

On our Fixed Menu we were able to make choices for each entree. We both chose the White Asparagus Soup which was delicious, then Stan had Lamb and I had the Grilled Fish Dish, and for Dessert we both had the Crepes with Orange Sauce. The setting was private as we were the only guests at the Dining area and the service was excellent!! Enjoyed a tasty Coffee Contardo at the end of our fabulous traditional Spanish Meal. The Fixed Menu Lunch is 20 Euros per person, well worth it! Mui Bien!!

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.

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.
