Exceedingly mediocre Galician restaurant catered to tourists…read more  Although I stayed in Santiago a mere weekend, I enjoyed delectable Galician cuisine in the quaint establishments around town. Not here. Eating our way around Spain, my friend and I were thrilled to try a highly-rated restaurant our first night in Santiago. Instead, we found disappointment. We were seated in the basement since there was private event on the ground floor. The décor is Galician (read: medieval). Stone walls and wood furniture, plus sparse lighting, transports you to a tavern millennium back. The vivacious ambiance warmed the crisp evening. Around us, groups of pilgrims celebrated the end of a long trip. Our waiter greeted us with a hefty tourist menu that proffered endless dishes in multiple languages. We ordered lightly, having partook a five-course tasting lunch.   = Food =   Galician king scallop (€4.80): Baked scallops au gratin with breadcrumbs and white wine sauce. Supposedly. Meager scallops coupled with meager flavoring makes for a dish so ordinary it is resistant to critique. Was the scallop fresh and juicy? No idea. Was the sauce balanced and complementary? Who knows. We did not finish this shadow of a proper baked scallop. Grilled razor shells (€15): Navajas cooked with white wine, paired with lemon. We were both obsessed with razor clams (known as navallas or navajas). These clams were juicy, with a moderately chewy consistency. Regrettably the faint fishiness and the gunky guts detracted our enjoyment. The lemon slice helped somewhat. Padrón peppers: These small green peppers are one of my favorite dishes in Spain. The coalition of the sweet green flesh, the bitter white filaments, the picante seeds, and the light dust of salt, is irresistible. The peppers were good, but extraordinarily over-salted. The Spanish tend to salt more than Americans, but never had I needed to swab the salt off before eating each of these. Panna cotta: average. Flan: good consistency and egg flavor. Could use stronger caramel and lower baking temperature for a smoother texture, but otherwise adequate. Mousse crumble: not sure exactly what this dish was, as it was mis-delivered (in place of the panna cotta). Once we informed our waiter of the mistake, he quickly brought us the panna cotta and let us keep this mousse. It was a heavy for my taste.   = Verdict = This restaurant was likely popularized by the NYT feature nine years ago. Spirited ambiance and large menus make this restaurant a good spot for big groups. But falls short for foodies looking to savor good Galician cuisine.

When I arrived, I was given the menu and I chose to get a grilled Merluze (Hake). It came with potatoes. I asked for it with no salt, as Spanish cuisine tends to be too salty for my taste. As I waited for my meal, I was given bread, which I ate...in many parts of Spain, any bread you get is an extra charge. The fish came nicely grilled, tender on the inside and nicely browned on the outside. The flavor was good and the seasoning was low, basically no salt. I asked for pepper and it made my dish perfect for me. Lots of locals were eating here, so i's not a tourist trap. They take credit cards.

What a great local gem…read more We stayed here a few days in an appartement just across the street. This place had some good reviews and looked very inviting. It's a small Chiringuito sitting on a lawn, close to the ocean. There's a tent in case of bad weather and a good number of tables outside. Dogs allowed anywhere, which was great. There's a menu, but they got some daily specials, be sure to check on them and ask. Soda, beer and wine available. Staff and chef/owner here were great. Fast, friendly, helpful. The food is cooked freshly by order, portions are good sized and prices more than fair. They got some great galician specialties on the menu, seafood, as well as sandwiches and other items. We came here every night (it's open for lunch and then again for dinner). On these days we had Chorizo, Spanish Tortilla, Clams, Mussels, Tuna Panini, ham (Lacón a la gallega), and octopus (pulpo a la feria). Always a bottle of wine with. All together it did cost around 45 Euros. Good value for the location, the freshness of the ingredients and the quality. Chorizo was really flavourful and tender, Spanish Tortilla big and could feed a whole family. The mussels and clams were plenty and tasted like they just came out of the ocean. Great stuff. The most amazing items were the traditional galician dishes. The ham with potatoes (Lacón a la gallega) was fantastic. Great, tender and juicy piece of ham. On top of a good load of potatoes, some oil and paprika powder. A wonderful meal. Same goes for the divine octopus (pulpo a la feria). Same preperation as the ham. Octopus seems like an easy dish. But cook it to short, too long, too hot or cold...and it ends up chewy. This one here was cooked to perfection. So, this place here is a fantastic find. Great authentic food. Location, quality, staff. All full points. I miss this place and the good times we've had here.
