    A Taberna de Cunqueiro - Octopus with Potatoes

    Melt-in-your-mouth Octopus…read more This place is so good we went back the next time we were in A Coruña. It's also easy to get to - just a couple of short blocks from the main square (the one with the Obelisk). I have never had Octopus so tender and flavorful. The generous portion comes with potatoes, crusty bread and a starter for 20 Euros. Also enjoyed a couple of glasses of Estrella beer - so refreshing. Also recommend the Scallops and the Prawns. The staff is welcoming and attentive. If you have never tried Octopus, get out of you safety zone and give it a go - I'm betting you will be glad you did.

    After spending four hours touring A Coruña and soaking in all its historical charm, we found…read moreourselves absolutely starving at 12:00 PM. The tour had mentioned that octopus is one of the most beloved dishes in A Coruña, so I knew I had to try it. But where? I turned to Yelp and searched for the best octopus nearby. My answer appeared almost immediately, A Taberna de Cunqueiro, just a five-minute walk through the enchanting old town, boasting nearly a 5-star rating with 37 reviews. When we arrived, the place was packed, buzzing with locals and tourists alike. Just as I was scanning the room, probably looking a bit lost, a friendly waitress caught my eye. With a big smile and a cheerful "hola," she seated us right away. She went above and beyond, recommending the best tapas selections to start, and before we even had a chance to order, she brought over a warm bowl of potaje and jamón ham con pan--such a thoughtful touch! We ordered two refreshing local draft beers, Estrella de Galicia, and dug into the delicious appetizers. The casa croquettes, Iberian ham, small scallops, and of course, the Galician octopus, were all simply amazing. Each bite was a true taste of Galicia's culinary brilliance. After a second round of beers, we were so stuffed that we had to call it a day just as they were preparing to close at 2:00 PM for their lunch break. This spot has an amazing vibe and you can tell it's one of the locals favorite as it reas full of young people adding to the energy. This place quickly became one of my favorite while in A Coruña and merits multiple visits. Did I also mention that owner was in the kitchen making sure this packed place functioned like a well oiled machine. The vibe is so authentic, the staff are incredibly friendly, and the food? Unforgettable. I couldn't even imagine giving anything short of 5 star review definitely be back next time I'm in town!

    Found this gem strolling though the old winding streets of Santiago de Compastelo. We saw a…read morerestaurant that was a bit empty, but cozy and charming. As we approached, we saw the Michelin sign and were delighted. The food was superb. Not many items on the menu, but I think that's great as I am not a local Galician and wouldn't know what would suit my ignorant foreign taste. We decided to play safe and ordered salad, grilled veggies and Rice and Seaford (similar to paella). The salad had peeled tomatoes that were so sweet, it tasted like fruit. The veggies were grilled to perfection with nothing except a pinch of salt...it was amazing! The Rice and seafood had a flavor we couldn't pinpoint, but it produced a cornoecopea of flavors...creamy, lightly cheddary. Soooo delicious. The ambiance and service was top-notch to match. Thoroughly impressed with the place overall.

    This is a beautiful restaurant that serves delicious paella type dishes. We enjoyed a lunch there…read moreof wonderful seafood Banda dish. the rice was filled with monk fish, cuttlefish fish, prawns and langoustines. The seasoning was spot on and the aioli on top was a wonderful addition. A great creamy Galician beef with peppers rice was very umami and the beef was beautifully braised. Our third dish was Cuttlefish in ink with smashed potatoes and a fried egg. A unique dish that tasted of the briny ocean. It was topped off with a three cheese cheesecake that while delicious was more of a custard. The wine list shows off the local wines and we enjoyed some spectacular Albariño's. The service was a little slow but made for a nice relaxing 2 hour lunch.
