Went here today based on it being so highly rated here on Yelp. It was really good easy to find and…read morewe enjoyed the experience. 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.

Aloha, after leaving San Sebastian, driving to Bordeaux, we stopped in Vigo for lunch. Stumbled…read moreonto Cocedero La Piedra on a back lane, where we saw a one-man-stand of oyster in front. 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!

Food was EXCELLENT, fresh, tasty, and right on time. Service was also great, very nice and…read moreprofessional servers. Ambiance was nice, outdoors seating, the restaurant is located in a street full of restaurants with outdoor seating, very enjoyable! Also, the local wine (Alvariño) was delicious. Finally, I had the best bogavante I have ever eaten in my life! Would come back and recommend 100%

Ehh. The service was friendly and attentive but our experience ended badly. Everything had fair…read moreprices on the menu but we ordered the lobster special and were billed 90 just for the dish. 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?

Firstly, I would like to indicate that the Spanish reviewers (and whoever uploaded the photo of…read morethis "locale") have reviewed Rias Baixas 2 in error. The address and location which I am reviewing is for Rias Baixas 1. There are two Rias Baixas restaurants, located about a five minute walk from one another. The primary difference between the two is the days and evenings that the restaurant is closed (Sunday versus Monday) and that Rias Baixas 1 has a more ample outdoor seating area. Both have menus that feature the best of Galician seafood. My dream is to one day find someone who is willing to share the big platter of centolla, percebes, navajas, and zamburinas that the two guys next to me were feasting on. One day... The dining room of Rias Baixas 1 has a very old-fashioned, vintage air to it: there are old Pepsi ads on the walls and extremely old wooden crates that once contained Kas on the shelves. Because it was such a beautiful day, I decided to sit on the terrace and indulge in what drew me into the restaurant in the first place...percebes! (You have truly not lived until you have tried percebes.) For 15 euro, I received a gigantic plate of briny, rich percebes, all of which were of uniform length and thickness. With a glass of Verdejo and fresh Galician bread, I was in heaven. My waiter, who was a very polite, professional, and cordial guy, made sure I had plenty of napkins available because eating percebes can be a little bit messy, especially when they are as juicy as these were. Although I was absolutely stuffed, my waiter offered me filloas with cream, chocolate cake, or cheesecake for dessert. I ended the meal with a cafe solo, which was the perfect and smooth boost I needed after a relaxing and lazy lunch that was bound to leave me wanting a nap. Avoid the tourist trap restaurants in Casco Vello that serve sub-par seafood and visit Rias Baixas for more attentive service, better quality seafood, and better prices.
