    La Penela is located in the Plaza de María Pita. The restaurant has enclosed seating in the plaza,…read moreas well as seating inside the restaurant (there is also a bar area). We sat inside the enclosed area in the plaza, which is also good for large parties. As with most restaurants directly on the plaza, the prices are a bit higher than one might expect for this area of Galicia, but the quality of the food is outstanding. We were brought some crackly, fluffy Galician bread, which is impossible not to pick at, while we decided what to order. We ordered both a bottle of wine and sangria. As someone who is particular about sangria, I was very impressed at how well the it was mixed. It was less punchy and sweet than some sangrias, but retained its fruitiness and was very refreshing. For appetizers, we shared the pimientos de padron which were cooked to absolute perfection. It made me miss the home cooking that I once got to enjoy. In this batch, there were no hot surprises but the peppers were crispy without being soggy and perfectly salted. We also shared the croquetas de bacalao, which were some of the best I've ever had. There was so much bacalao in them and the outside of the croquetas retained their crispiness without the insides getting mushy. For a main course, I had the merluza. The best part of going to Galicia is access to seafood where the fish were caught earlier that day. The merluza was so fresh, and the red sauce it is prepared in did not overpower the fish. The portion was quite generous too - I had leftovers, which I shared with the rest of my table. By the time we had dessert, the only option available was ice cream. (There is a much better ice cream shop about a 5 minute walk away.) It would have been nice to try the Tarta Santiago or one of the other homemade desserts.
