    Melt-in-your-mouth Octopus…read more This place is so good we went back the next time we were in A Coruña. It's also easy to get to - just a couple of short blocks from the main square (the one with the Obelisk). I have never had Octopus so tender and flavorful. The generous portion comes with potatoes, crusty bread and a starter for 20 Euros. Also enjoyed a couple of glasses of Estrella beer - so refreshing. Also recommend the Scallops and the Prawns. The staff is welcoming and attentive. If you have never tried Octopus, get out of you safety zone and give it a go - I'm betting you will be glad you did.

    After spending four hours touring A Coruña and soaking in all its historical charm, we found…read moreourselves absolutely starving at 12:00 PM. The tour had mentioned that octopus is one of the most beloved dishes in A Coruña, so I knew I had to try it. But where? I turned to Yelp and searched for the best octopus nearby. My answer appeared almost immediately, A Taberna de Cunqueiro, just a five-minute walk through the enchanting old town, boasting nearly a 5-star rating with 37 reviews. When we arrived, the place was packed, buzzing with locals and tourists alike. Just as I was scanning the room, probably looking a bit lost, a friendly waitress caught my eye. With a big smile and a cheerful "hola," she seated us right away. She went above and beyond, recommending the best tapas selections to start, and before we even had a chance to order, she brought over a warm bowl of potaje and jamón ham con pan--such a thoughtful touch! We ordered two refreshing local draft beers, Estrella de Galicia, and dug into the delicious appetizers. The casa croquettes, Iberian ham, small scallops, and of course, the Galician octopus, were all simply amazing. Each bite was a true taste of Galicia's culinary brilliance. After a second round of beers, we were so stuffed that we had to call it a day just as they were preparing to close at 2:00 PM for their lunch break. This spot has an amazing vibe and you can tell it's one of the locals favorite as it reas full of young people adding to the energy. This place quickly became one of my favorite while in A Coruña and merits multiple visits. Did I also mention that owner was in the kitchen making sure this packed place functioned like a well oiled machine. The vibe is so authentic, the staff are incredibly friendly, and the food? Unforgettable. I couldn't even imagine giving anything short of 5 star review definitely be back next time I'm in town!

    Short review: Phenomenal food, atmosphere and service; everything was first class and we had a…read moretruly memorable evening meal with absolutely no complaints about a single thing. We are American travelers and were staying with in-laws near Viveiro. 8 of us were on our way back from Ourense and stopped in Lugo to break up the long drive. I thought we would have a quick drink and some light fare and get on the road. My brother-in-law made a quick reservation and we found Campos. We had gone to the thermal hot springs in Ourense and a few of us were dressed in jeans; I was in a heavy black hooded sweatshirt. We later recalled feeling uncomfortable to realize that we were in such a fancy place, where everyone else was clearly dressed for fine dining, and I was a little shocked by the prices. By the end of coffee and dessert we had spent nearly 400€ with only one bottle of wine. But if you are used to spending like that, or if this is a reach but you want a special meal, we highly recommend Campos. The wait staff were utterly professional, warm and slightly reserved. The room was beautiful and tastefully decorated, with lovely lighting, bright enough yet not overbearing. Our meals and desserts were served on very lovely handmade pottery (modern, not rustic). All of our food was magnificent and the desserts were also very special. We are grateful to the wait staff who made our evening so special!

    The tapas competition is on and Campos has a beautifully presented win. The flavors combine tangy,…read moreslightly salty with a slow roasted meat tapa on top of a crunchy explosion that won our hearts.
