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.

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!

Thank goodness for accidents as this place is sooooooo good! Very nice explanada but unfortunately Had to eat inside , no table open outside. The interior is nicely and tastefully decorated. Simple but pretty. Bathrooms very clean. To the food: Polished an appetizer of melon and presunto: Ripe and tasty melon. Presunto not salty. . full Cataplana of seafood. Exquisite! All washed down with a 1 Bottle of adega ponte de lima, green wine. Oh my what a meal. Thank you João , my waiter. You are a wonderful professional. A Thank you also Daniela, our other waiter, you're a gracious young lady . And finally a big thank you to senhor Manuel (the owner) for being so accommodating at 8:30 pm on a busy Saturday night.

This restaurant far exceeded my expectations. If I could rate it 6 stars, I would…read more Let's start by discussing the service. The waitress was wonderful. Although I didn't speak Spanish she was able to switch to English and explain everything to me, and even offered to translate the menu for me. The food was the selling point though. I firstly adored that the restaurant offered fresh bread. I have a soft spot for places that immediately provide appetizers before the customer has a chance to order. Likewise, my main course was incredible. Without a doubt, the octopus dish cooked in a orange garlic sauce was one of the best foods I've ever tasted. The dish is served on a huge plate and plated beautifully, but the helping is more than enough. A steal for the price! The octopus melts in the mouth and the orange sauce was soft and savory. THe cream ring was very flavorful and was surprisingly not heavy. I loved it so much that I finished the sauce before the rest of the plate. Every detail of the dish, from the potato's to the finely chopped onions complemented each other and was cooked to perfection. Fantastic place, and I wouldn't hesitate to visit again if I get the chance.

Incredible value for gourmet seafood course (12€ for 5-course lunch tasting menu)…read more  I was visiting Santiago de Compostela for the weekend and our Airbnb host recommended this gem. My friend and I decided make it our first lunch. The unassuming exterior led to a brightly-lit, cute, marine-themed restaurant. The restaurant was half-full, seemingly of locals from the friendly banter with the waiters. We were warmly greeted and offered the menu. What!? 12€ for a five-course tasting menu? Yes. The whole table must participate, but for the price, you get 5 dishes (mostly seafood, but also other meats), as well a glass of wine or beer. What a steal! And the portions were exceedingly generous. We ordered an additional octopus dish since we both loved octopus in Spain. Needless to say, we couldn't finish everything. But not for lack of trying!   = Tasting menu =   1. Ham croquette: a heavy start to the meal for my tastes, but perfectly-golden and crunchy. 2. Mussels with white wine sauce and goji berries over asparagus: the asparagus was softer than typically prepared in the US, but otherwise this dish was spot on. The mussels were fresh and flavorful. The goji berries threw in a surprising burst of sweetness and color to the plate. 3. Pollack a la Gallega: fresh, flakey white fish with a red tomato oil/sauce. Blend of sweet-savory and melt-in-your-mouth fish. 4. Turkey over potatoes and camembert sauce: moist turkey breast over aromatic matchstick potatoes, with a cheesy white sauce over. We were too stuffed to appreciate this dish unfortunately. 5. Chocolate and vanilla ice cream topped with mint jelly cube: we were full, but who could say no to two scoops of classic ice cream? Not particularly innovative, but nonetheless a fantastic end to a great meal.   = Separate order = Octopus a la Mugardesa with orange aioli (€13): fat and juicy tentacles, perfectly cooked to tenderness. Topped with finely-chopped caramelized onions. One of the best octopus dishes I've had in Spain. The citrusy aioli complemented the meaty octopus. We may have gone overboard by ordering this dish in addition to our set meals, but we have no regrets. = Verdict = If you're in town and looking for seafood lunch - stop. Mama Peixe is the best deal I've encountered in my travels around Spain. The same course in the States would be triple the price. I highly recommend this restaurant!
