We got a large seafood platter for four and it was a large selection of crab, mussels, clams, shrimp and small lobster. The service was great and the food/wine was delicious. The restaurant is small but we didn't feel cramped. We will totally return here next time we are in Vigo.

It's hard to make a choice but I'm extremely glad we ended up picking this place. For our first Galacian meal, expectations were high. We only had a few things... octopus, roasted padrón peppers, and a salad... and EVERYTHING was amazing. The simplest thing was so good, I couldn't believe it... even the bread hat came with the meal! We had tried a similar octopus dish in Madrid and was extremely disappointed by it. The Galician version however was spot on. Great texture, and the right spices. The mixed salad was also very unique. It came with fat slices of juicy tomatoes, onions, olives, tuna and melon, all topped with a balsamic vinaigrette. In another world, there's no way all those things would go together well in a salad. But here, they did. If you want the good Galician food, come here.

Wow, what a find. We bought the oysters separately, but the restaurant served them to us (which BTW were amazing too). We proceeded to order a bunch of shared dishes from the restaurant too, wow, wow, wow, oh so ono! Everything from the razor clams, squid, sardines and cockles (my fav) was amazingly ono. Love this place, would definitely make it a pit-stop again when in the area. Enjoy!

I was floored! It was the one dish that was underwhelming (and cold). There was no indication that the lobster dish would be that pricey since all dishes were under 20. Tough to recommend since we feel ripped off. I take responsibility for ordering the dish and I will gladly pay extra for lobster, but paying 90 for a tiny lobster that is cold?

Inside you'll find plenty of seating and the selection of seafood is amazing. Vigo is known for its mussels, oysters, and local seafood. I ordered a dish of grilled octopus that came with local scallops and local mushrooms. Honestly, I have never cried while eating a meal, but this was the first time I've experienced it. The combination of local mushrooms coupled with the creaminess of octopus was something I'd never experienced before. Complete mouthgasm. The dish came to €20. I also tried their local prawns that were done with the crispy outside shell but tender, moist shrimp. You get six of these for €12. Finally, the local Galician wine is something to be enjoyed. They are known for Albariño but honestly, I really did like the red here. It wasn't fruit forward like the red wine that I'm used to in my local area but more subtle and well balanced. The service was spot on. They don't pester you like some places do in the US but also wasn't completely ignored. I want to come back here but at the same time I wanna try other places. Highly recommend it if you're in the area!
