There are also many other la Gallofa places around Santander so do try them all out!

My roommate and I visited this little restaurant for dinner one night in the first week of our…read morearrival. It was pretty good! It's most known for its tortillas, which is the one thing I never really get tired of eating here in Spain. I'm pretty sick of bocadillos, but tortillas never really get old if you know where to find the good ones. This is one of those spots! (Tortillas are not created equally, my friends).

Quebec is good for what it is - a quick stop to get a tortilla and a drink…read more Their pricing model is inexpensive and really easy to understand. You pick a pincho and based on the color of the plate it is on, you know what to pay. There are 3 locations in Santander, as of the writing of this review, and their food is consistent across all of their locations. My one gripe about Quebec is that their jamon y queso tortilla doesn't have full pieces of ham and cheese on it. They put slivers of ham and cheese on the sides of the tortilla to give the appearance that the tortilla has ham and cheese on the inside. That's just dishonest. But, don't be dissuaded because of that. They still have other great tortillas for great prices.

Although our visit to Meson Rampalay was pretty short, we really enjoyed ourselves. We pretty much…read morestopped by this spot on a way to another place, but we wanted to have a few beverages and small bites before going to our next place. While there is indoor dining, the restaurant has an extensive outdoor dining area, which is situated next to a church (Santa Lucia, I think). If the weather is nice, I highly recommend dining outside. The restaurant has your typical standard array of tapas/pinchos. Although I cannot remember exactly what we had, I do not remember having any issues with any of the food we had. Compared to other similar places in Santander, I thought the prices were fine especially if you consider the ambiance of dining in the plaza. Also, I thought the bathroom was very clean. While I would not go out of my way to dine here (however, nothing in Santander's city center is really out of the way), it's a nice spot if you are in the general vicinity.

Came here for a tapas lunch due to position in old quarter away from traffic and the reviews…read more Excellent position next to a church in a square. Can sit outside or inside. Waiter spoke very good English and there was a good choice on the menu. We had 3 dishes squid, octopus and cod. All were excellent in quality and quantity plus the white wine very good also. In total it came to around 50€ for 2 so okay pricewise. Fully recommend

A friend who lives in the city took me here today after we had a really big lunch. THe plan was to…read moreget a coffee but when I saw those cakes, especially that red velvet one, I just had to try it. Glad I did but wished afterwards that I hadn't. It was a really big piece and tasted like strawberry ice cream. In other words, it was delicious! The place seems to be a bakery at one end and at the other was fruit that seemed to be used to make smoothies. Lots of tables and booths but the place was crowded. There was a really nice feel to the place and with a damn fine cup of coffee and free wifi as well; it's a place worth returning to.

La Gallofa is a chain of bakeries/ pastry shops in Cantabria. From the locations I've been to, all…read morehave a very upscale look to them - this certainly isn't your little hole-in-the-wall panaderia or bakery. When I'm in "beach bum" mode, I typically like to buy a fresh loaf of bread from a bakery, buy some sliced charcuterie or embutidos and a little bit of cheese from a butcher shop, and make my own sandwich to take on the beach for lunch. I came to La Gallofa in search of a small baguette for my sandwich. I was impressed (and also very tempted) by the large selection of freshly baked bread, which included ciabatta, pan gallego, and whole wheat loaves, but managed not to give into temptation. There are also beautifully decorated pastries, as well as some classic hojaldres [1] and palmeritas (some dipped in chocolate!) pastries as well. Judging by the number of people purchasing hojaldres, I'd guess that these are what the bakery does best. If you don't have a sweet tooth (shame on you!), there are also empanadillas and quiche slices available. The bread was perfect for my sandwich with jamon serrano. I loved the light, airy consistency with uneven bubbles and crusty exterior. From location to location, La Gallofa excels in offering baked goods of consistent quality. [1] A popular, flaky pastry.
