We opted for a series of Galician appetizers and enjoyed everything. And for a Hotel restaurant and a steep exchange rate, prices were not out of line.

For our party of seven, we had to split into two groups so we could be seated with minimal wait. Alcachofas Crocantes Con Labras De Xamón Ibérico - Sometimes we had to order a veggie dish and it becomes an easy choice when there's meat involved. Can't go wrong here with the Iberian ham. The crispness of the artichokes was amazing. Fideos Negros De Sepia Da Ría Con Alioli - This was our first time having fideo and we were glad they had the squid ink variety on their menu. I would have preferred it to be a bit drier, but it was enjoyable nonetheless. It had plenty of cuttlefish and green peas and a nice dollop of aioli. Zamburiñas Á Prancha - These were the biggest scallops that we've had all week. They were grilled and torched at the top for an even better char flavor. Solombo De Vaca Premium (200 grams) Con Verduriñas Salteadas E Patacas - A 7-oz. cut of their premium beef tenderloin, grilled medium, and lightly sprinkled with coarse salt. Very soft and tasty that made it a sin having to split the meat four ways. It was served with sautéed vegetables and potatoes. Entrecosto De Vaca Premium (300 grams) Con Verduriñas Salteadas E Patacas - A bigger cut of their premium beef sirloin and came with sautéed vegetables and potatoes also. It came out precut into bite-sized slices so it was easier to share. It was perfectly grilled too, but the texture of the solombo got my vote. Food this good was the fitting end to our once-in-a-lifetime accomplishment. The mom-owner was very kind and accommodating which made our final Galician meal even better. Our group of seven had to part ways early the next day so we said our goodbyes after dinner. It was Lisbon and Porto for the others while my wife and I were headed to the Andalusian region.

The interior of the restaurant gave me a nice old school and homey vibe with its exposed stone walls that kind of matched the general rustic vibe of Santiago. Fortunately for us we visited during an off peak hour and were able to nab a couple of seats at the bar without a wait. We thought the servers were very friendly and definitely made sure that we were well taken care of. For instance, we never had to wait more than five minutes to get refills of wine and plates of food. Although I do not remember exactly what we had, I do not recall being disappointed with the food. Oh wait, I do remember that the zamburiñas were delicious. In fact, I think after having our first plate of zamburiñas, we order another serving towards the end of our meal. ;) In terms of price, the restaurant was a bit more expensive than a couple other local places, but it was not anything too outrageous especially as tourist.

And this was definitely a very good choice, as everything seemed to be very fresh - they are located just across a public market, after all - and well prepared. The seasonality of their menu is paired perfectly with modern, inspired flavours, but it also respects those things that time established and perfected: good cheeses, a beautiful wine menu and, for me one of the most crucial details, good, freshly baked bread, that they slice in your view. And the space itself is gorgeous, ample and contemporary, with a bold use of proportion and color. There's also the convoluted, yet extremely comfortable, furniture. Truly nice architecture and interiors work, enhanced by the jazzy music. The staff is knowledgeable about the food and has an easygoing, elegant way of making you feel welcome. My only reservation about the whole experience was the portion size: some dishes were very generous while others were quite small, and this wasn't from a tapas menu. We were sharing everything so that wasn't a problem at the time. Very good value overall and I hope that it's still around next time I'm in Santiago.
