Use the salt and seasoned olive oil bowl on the table to sprinkle over both sides of your steak as you cook it to the temp you like on the hot stone they bring you. The meal included a delicious fresh salad with tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and the most flavorful olive oil sprinkled over the salad- plus plenty of crispy, perfectly salted fries, a drink, and coffee or dessert. We upgraded from the 35 euro for 2 people to 40 euro because we were both starving and wanted more meat - 1 kilogram. We devoured that steak! We cooked it medium rare, but still needed to cook a couple of pieces a little longer, but our stone plate was no longer hot. The lady working the bar and waiting tables came right over and brought us a hot stone. She and the chef in the back were so friendly and helpful. Our total meal was 42 euro - probably because I added a big bottle of water to our drink orders of one coke and hot tea. I actually had two hot mint teas - called "infusion" because the tea was so flavorful. It was a little more expensive, but we'll worth it! We would definitely stop here again- even though we were both to full to finish the fries!

When we tried to make a reservation on the spot, we were also denied. No clear explanation was given.

Easy fast friendly and tasty food. No reservations required.

As an exhausted and hungry pilgrim, who are also vegetarian, we were grateful for the accommodation. The food arrived quickly and was sublime! The best pizza on the entire Camino!

We were attacked by the pizza maker claiming that we left two plastic cups outside of the establishment. Mind you that there wasn't a garbage can in sight.

I've been a pilgrim 3x and the food you get at towns and villages on the trail is so homestyle and down-to-earth. Getting into bigger cities is a shock because there feels like there's so much engineering going into "delicacies" and "gourmet dishes" fit for a city restaurant. The beauty of Fogar de Galicia is they're bringing you the kinds of homestyle foods we had on the road as pilgrims, straight from local farms. I got a zucchini stir-fry that was so immensely fresh; a "shakshuka" (a hearty tomato/cumin/egg dish) where the egg yolks were the deepest orange, and a great cider made in Galicia. My friends loved the glutinous options too, all farm-to-table. The place is simple, with low-key counter-ordering and basic table service. The ambience is festive almost all the time since there are so many pilgrims with so much to celebrate! It was an awesome find and I hope to eat there again on my next Camino.

We also had the rice of the day from Le Petit Tamboril, which was a paella of rice boiled in a yellow seafood broth along with chunks of shrimp and calamari. The rice had a deep, umami, seafood flavor from the broth and perfectly crispy, caramelized bits (socarrat) on the bottom of the pan. Everything here came at a great value, and the lively, hip atmosphere made for a fun place to dine!

This is where my Spain culinary journey ended. I spent 9…read morenights between Barcelona, Madrid and Santiago de Compostela and was able to get a reservation to do 8 menu tastings. I ended up getting in to another one unscheduled so it became a total of 9. This was hands down the best one of all 9. All around. From where they seated me which was right in front of the kitchen where I got to watch the whole team prepare everything. To ALL the wine I indeed up downing. To how beyond delicious every dish that came out was - and there was a total of 8, 6 food and 2 desserts. The experience starts with a refreshing mocktail paired with a spoon of whatever that was that opened up my palate and got me ready for what was ahead of me. After the soup was the tastiest oyster I've ever had in my life. It was so tasty and perfectly seasoned. I loved every bite of every single plate that got dropped off. Don't even get me started on their brioche. It was so good I got another piece. The gambitas was super delicate it practically melted in your mouth. The next two dishes were so bomb that I was so full by the time we got to the chicken. After that were the two desserts. The service was above and beyond. From the moment I sat down, to the in between dishes where someone comes by to clean up your area or checks in to make sure everything was going well, to my exit- the whole staff were so accommodating. The sommelier took such great care of me. He was challenged after I specifically asked to only be given Spanish wine. Chef Marcelo takes the time to speak to every diner. He made sure to check in here and there and he sends you off at the end of your meal. Truly, one of the best experiences. I can't wait to come back to see what other dishes Chef Marcelo has come up with.

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. Fun times... Good adventures... Great friends... ¡Hasta pronto!
