Our Camino journey included a day trip to Finisterre, which was regarded as the "end of the earth"…read moreduring ancient times. After visiting the cape, lighthouse, and the coast, we decided to have lunch here at A Cantina. Pulpo "A Feira" - This was a very standard rendition of Galician-style octopus with paprika, salt, and olive oil. The slices were very tender and delicious. Calamares Fritos - Lightly breaded and salted, it tasted better with the lemon and when dabbed in the pulpo sauce. Mejillon Al Vapor - These steamed mussels were very fresh. It was a very basic style of cooking but enough to bring out the flavor of the shellfish. Raxo (Lomo De Cerdo, Pimientos, Y Patatas) - We've had this dish at Arzúa when we had the churrasco plates. Their version had less pork loin cubes and more fries. The meat was perfectly seasoned and cooked though. Zamburiñas A La Plancha - A little bit on the smaller size compared to what we've had before, but these scallops were still worth having. Navajas A La Plancha - Our friends have not had razor clams before and it was a good thing these did not disappoint. Grilled and drizzled with olive oil, these elongated clams are so much better than their round, hard-shelled brothers. They had great texture also as they were not rubbery. Service was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is near the waterfront so there was a good view of the harbor through the windows. There were a few other choices nearby, but we were satisfied to have chosen A Cantina over them.

This restaurant is located with a wonderful view of the sea. As you may have guessed the food was fish and more fish. It is good thing because the daily catch of fish and sea food was offered in a plethora of preparations that made choosing hard. The best strategy is to ask the waitstaff to describe the preparations and which fish was the freshest. Although it is way out of the way it is work the ride. We ate lunch in a dining room filled to capacity.

We were in raincoats and Gortex shoes, but they could only do so much. We all broke down in tears when we made the turn from Arco de Palacio to Plaza del Obradoiro because there it was, the archcathedral, standing gallantly on our left. We hugged each other, said a prayer, took some photos, got our compostela (certificate), and then looked for a place to eat. From the plaza, we headed down Rúa do Franco and landed at A Taberna do Bispo. There was a long wait to seat our party of seven together, so we ended up on two tables. Champiñones A La Plancha - These griddled button mushrooms were the perfect way to get our veggies in. Boquerones En Vinagre - These were the herbiest anchovies we had during our camino. They were served with green and purple olives. Calamarcitos A La Plancha - Just like the mushrooms and anchovies, these grilled baby squids were served in olive oil with herbs. They were very tender and tasty. Mejillones - We finally got steamed mussels done properly. So much better than the ones we had at Sarria. Solomillo De Terneira Montaditos - These veal tenderloins were awesome. Perfectly seared medium-rare, each was served on bread and topped with shishito pepper. Vieira A La Plancha Con Langostinos - Lovely to look at, heaven to eat - that's how to best describe this dish! Each half-shell scallop had two plump prawns and they were grilled and drizzled with the same olive oil concoction they used in the other dishes. So delicious! The restaurant was elegant-looking and had the vibe of a tourist trap, but we did not regret going here. There were other items on the menu that we could have tried, but we simply would not have been able to finish if we did. Our server was very friendly and had plenty of recommendations, one of which was the scallop. We were so glad we ordered them!

The restaurant was perfectly located near the Cathedral, but not in the main hustle and bustle. The restaurant was clean and had a welcoming exterior with both indoor and outdoor seating.

We tried the local dish, octopus cooked in olive oil and paprika, and again we were so impressed. There is a small brewery on site and the beer was phenomenal. We also got great bread and tried an empanada, which is not prepared as you would expect in the USA. The food portions were large and we couldn't finish what we ordered. Fantastic experience!
