What a wonderful dinner. Had dinner here courtesy of Tauck tours.

Based on the menu description, we expected some creamy white rice and chunks of lobster. But, NO! We got a small paella pan of marvelous red rice very similar to a paella, but stickier and with more tomato flavor. Each of us also got (embedded in the rice) half a lobster. OMG! A dinner to die for. This would have been a 5-star rating save for the incredibly loud atmosphere and the signature dessert of chocolate covered chestnuts which were delicious, but mealy. Still, I highly recommend Enxebre, especially if you are staying at the parador.

This Italian restaurant is now named La Piccola Italia. We ate at the downstairs tavern room,…read morethough there is also an upstairs dining room. The restaurant opens at 7:00 p.m. for dinner, earlier than the customary 8:00 p.m. Spanish dinner hour. Complimentary appetizers of potato chips (crisps) and olives were served, an excellent touch! I ordered a Pizza Arrabbiata, which was a pepperoni pizza. It was 34 cm, just a bit larger than an American 12 inch pizza, but similarly designed as an individual serving for dinner. The pizza was excellent, cooked in the Neapolitan style. A little spicier than similar American pizzas. My wife ordered Ravioli ai Quattro Formaggi (four cheese ravioli) and enjoyed it. Very reasonably priced. Located in the historic district and recommended for lunch or dinner.

We are from California and with some patience from our waiter we ordered peppers, paella and steak. Coke zero and a bottle of Albariño completed our order. Although it took a little while we were served some bread and soon after that our peppers. Big fan of the roasted peppers. Slight bell pepper flavor but not hot. The steak came still sizzling and perfectly cooked medium rare. Lean and very flavorful. As good as every thing was, the highlight for me was the paella. Beautiful. Langostinos sitting on top of a large bowl of rice with chorizo fish chunks peppers onions and probably some other things I missed. Absolutely the best paella I've had. I highly recommend this restaurant.

On a sunny day you can sit on the terrace and even have a view over the Ria de Arousa. The menu mainly consists of fresh fish, paella or rice dishes. There are also some tapas and meat dishes. We chose paella, with sea fruit and meat. There were also variations with veggies or lobster. The paella is served like it should be: in a pan coming straight from the stove. It is dished up on a side table and served out by the waiter. Quite a service! The taste was ok, not the best one I have ever tasted. And to my surprise the chicken I was thinking I was eating, was rabbit!!!! Not my taste. There are some homemade desserts (like cheesecake or flan) and Italian ice team. The nicest thing about this place was the fact that both the waiter as well as Paco himself (the owner) were super friendly to our little 2 year old boy running around. They even indicated we did not have to get up from our table when he ran of towards the road in front of it. We actually could relatively peacefully eat our meal.

Delightfully fresh and flavorful Galician seafood at a higher price range…read more My friend and I were visiting A Coruña for the weekend and set on a mission in search for centolla (spider crab). We looked around for the best seafood spots and found La Sarten. Although we made the reservation the morning of, we luckily snagged a table at 2pm. We got to the restaurant early, but they sat us at a table anyway. The interior of the restaurant is compact, with probably less than 20+ table seats and a handful of bar seats. Immediately we noticed that the restaurant was frequented by locals. The bartender and waiters chatted with the guests like old friends, and treated us with similar cordiality. The décor was hip and modern. Clearly the manager emphasized presentation, but how about the food? We ordered a glass of albariño (Galician white) and a (beer with lemonade) and eager inquired about the spider crabs. "No, it was unavailable." "Why not? Isn't it September the season?" "Regretfully you are just a week or two early this year." We were devastated. We had ourselves all worked up about spider crabs, researched everything about centolla dishes, only to miss it by a week. Crestfallen, we ordered two dishes recommended by our waiter in lieu. = Food = Almeja babosa a la marinera (€20): Venus clams sautéed with sailor's sauce. Loved it. The fresh plump clams were enveloped in a sauce bursting with flavor from albariño wine, garlic, tomatoes, onions, and saffron. Large portion size justifies the price. Arroz con bogavante (€28 per person, two minimum): Rice with lobster. A Galician take on Valencian paella, this sumptuous dish is choke full of lobster meat. Perhaps the best dish we had on this trip. The rice was perfectly cooked, intensely flavored by the seafood broth and saffron. Comes served in a big saucepan that keeps the dish hot while you work through it. Warning - it is a lot of food, and you will not be able to resist finishing all of it. = Verdict = While we did not find cebolla, we had an amazing, coma-inducing gastronomic experience. I highly recommend this restaurant for those who love shellfish. I would definitely come back, and hopefully in time for cebolla season!
