The location is great, in a historical stone plaza. However, the furniture is cheap (plastic tables…read moreand chairs), and does not announce neither contributes to the experience. The service is kind of good enough. It is fast and effective, but not friendly, at moments could be close to rede. This is to say that you would neither come here for the design, nor for the non-super-welcoming service. You would come for the food. And the food is good, refined and to a great extend creative. The pulpo hotdogs maybe the most creative, though not the most refined. The cabra probably the best for me. Worth given a try.

The moment you arrive, you know it's special. It's an intimate and romantic setting you'll soon forget. We enjoyed a late lunch with a staff that fussed over us. We did not want to keep them so we opted for a la Carte vs. the delightful tasting menu. It was a great decision given what followed. Our meal began with the in-house bread. It was perfect. Total perfection. Note, no butter. Not needed, either. I enjoyed a perfect Albariño wine. Our waitstaff recommended it. All three glasses. Ssssh. And DH enjoyed the Nordes gin. I opted for the beef sirloin with peanut butter swirl and DH went for the hake fish. But first? PB&J foie. Yup, infused and the best thing since sliced bread. We ended lunch with the Santiago cake. It was brilliant - deconstructed and perfect in all ways with almond ice cream. Then came the surprise chocolates. All 8 of them! What a strong finish! The $100 Euros was easy to lay down for one of best meals in Spain. See website for more details.

I have mix feeling about this place. It used to be one of…read morethe most innovative restaurants in town, but in a place were great value for money is abundant, somehow they managed to make themselves a loyal clientele by offering traditional cuisine but adding a modern twist. Today my impression was that the modern twist is still there, flavours were really good, so it was the presentation and the service but there was something missing. Portions were very small. When you having the tasting menu, obviously the amounts are less but we all felt we could have done with a bit more food. Normally you do not go to this type of establishments to stuff yourself like in a all you can eat buffet but leaving with hungry shouldn't also be the case. All in all if you are after a treat,or something more elaborate and fancy this is the place in Pontevedra.

This is What You call a classic!its been around ever since I can recall!!…read moreThis place has it all! It's a cafe a restaurant and it can also hold medium size events. It's located right bang in the center of the city and its has as its outdoor sitting area a park!! The food has improved over the last years,now offering a much modern take on local classics but they also offer traditional Galician dishes such as the octopus or the "croquetas" Downstairs they have a tavern, that it's great for having a glass of wine with a tapas, that are always free. Every other minute one of the waiters will walk around with a tray full of tapas and your can take as many as you want!yes free. My advise if you are planning on having lunch at some point is not to over do it as it's likely it will kill your appetite! That being said if it's your first time, you should definitely indulge in a tapas feast all mixed with the local wines on offer!
