After a night of revelry in Vigo, I needed to look like I got more than 3 hours of sleep before…read moreheading back to the house of my family. [1] Thank goodness Beny Lavandeira is within walking distance to many of the bars AND one of the central bus stops in Vigo because it made getting caffeinated a relatively easy task. There are only four tables in this bakery (it is more of a place where people stop by to buy their bread and cakes, rather than drink coffee and stay a while), but there was no shortage of people hanging out, reading the paper, and sipping coffee. I was fortunate enough to snag a table and ordered a café solo. As I skimmed the front page of Faro de Vigo, the employee asked me if all I wanted was a café solo. To my left, a couple was enjoying a croissant with their coffee. To my right, grandparents with their grandchild were dipping very typical Galician cookies in a café con leche. And in front of me, in the baked goods case, a very fresh-looking bizcocho [2] caught my eye. "Alright," I said. "A small slice of the bizcocho, please." "Small" must be a relative concept because two bites later, I was not only extremely full but it looked as though I had hardly eaten this spongy, moist cake. The employee noticed that I had surrendered and wrapped the rest of the cake for me to take home. For two euros, I had a great cup of coffee and a larger slice of bizcocho than I anticipated. The next time there's a foam party in Vigo, you'll know where to find me between the hours of 10 and 11am... [1] After-parties generally begin around 5 or 6am in Vigo and can go until 1pm or so.

This place definitely surpassed my expectations. I thought it would be pricy because the area…read more(Canido) is very high-end but quite the contrary. It was affordable and the food was delicious. They have a "menu del día" for 11.50 during the week that includes a starter, entrée, and coffee or dessert. They have a beautiful front terrace overlooking Canido beach and a cozy smaller terrace in the back. The decor is very French provençal-inspired. We went with our 19 month old and they had a high chair for her and a small book case (by the bar) with kids books to entertain her with while we waited. The wait was a tad more than we would have normally cared for but they were completely full. It is definitely recommendable to make reservations - especially if you need a high chair as there is only one. The only quam I have with this place is the parking. It was a beautiful beach day and we had to park really really far away. I would recommend the goat cheese salad and the bacalao. I also caught a glimpse of the meat and chicken shishkabobs and they looked amazing. The desserts we ordered were the cheescake and chocolate fudge lava cake. Highly recommend those as well!
