I normally go there to have a drink before lunch, and enjoy one of they tapas. I highly recommend the tostas of their revueltos, but do not hesitate to ask as they will always give you advice. If you are not very hungry, don't you worry as you will get some free food with your drink. They have a small sitting area outside overlooking the square that tend to be packed when the sun if out. Prices are not very high making this place great value for money!

Got the tosta de pulpo (octopus toast) and the solomillo al Roquefort. Both were good. I ordered…read morethe house Rioja crianza red wine and a red from Ribera del Duero.

What an incredible restaurant! An absolute institution in the "Casco Velho" Among visitors and…read morelocals alike. Phenomenal wine and delicious tostas from some of the best meat and cheese Galicia has to offer on hearty fresh baked bread. Leave a note on the wall, or just enjoy one of the most authentic experiences Santiago de Compostela has to offer. The fireplace at the back of the restaurant makes the restaurant feel like an escape from the bustle of the city, and the crowd is always energetic and eclectic. You can't visit Santiago, "la ciudad mas guarrilla" without a visit to O Filandón.

Wanted to like this place but can not recommend…read more We tried two variants of the set menu (reasonably priced at 10.30 Euros) that included a starter, a second course and a dessert. I had the shrimp and beans in a garlic sauce - very nice- and wife had the guacamole with sardines(also very nice). For the main I had the squid - generous portion not over cooked but tasted off (a bit like charcoal, bu that isn't quite it) and wife had the "secret pork". Stay away unless you like back fat! The desserts were carrot cake (more like carrot bread) with cream and mini Oreos (tasty) and I had strawberry mousse (also very good). While the staff spoke little English and I speak little Spanish, we made it work via google translate. We didn't understand that we could have ordered tapas instead of the set menu - seemed others enjoyed their tapas - so that would be the way to go, if you go.

We were in raincoats and Gortex shoes, but they could only do so much. We all broke down in tears when we made the turn from Arco de Palacio to Plaza del Obradoiro because there it was, the archcathedral, standing gallantly on our left. We hugged each other, said a prayer, took some photos, got our compostela (certificate), and then looked for a place to eat. From the plaza, we headed down Rúa do Franco and landed at A Taberna do Bispo. There was a long wait to seat our party of seven together, so we ended up on two tables. Champiñones A La Plancha - These griddled button mushrooms were the perfect way to get our veggies in. Boquerones En Vinagre - These were the herbiest anchovies we had during our camino. They were served with green and purple olives. Calamarcitos A La Plancha - Just like the mushrooms and anchovies, these grilled baby squids were served in olive oil with herbs. They were very tender and tasty. Mejillones - We finally got steamed mussels done properly. So much better than the ones we had at Sarria. Solomillo De Terneira Montaditos - These veal tenderloins were awesome. Perfectly seared medium-rare, each was served on bread and topped with shishito pepper. Vieira A La Plancha Con Langostinos - Lovely to look at, heaven to eat - that's how to best describe this dish! Each half-shell scallop had two plump prawns and they were grilled and drizzled with the same olive oil concoction they used in the other dishes. So delicious! The restaurant was elegant-looking and had the vibe of a tourist trap, but we did not regret going here. There were other items on the menu that we could have tried, but we simply would not have been able to finish if we did. Our server was very friendly and had plenty of recommendations, one of which was the scallop. We were so glad we ordered them!

I had lunch at A Taberna do Bispo after a wonderful citywide tour of Santiago de Compostela. It was…read morethe perfect spot to relax and enjoy a break. We ordered cold bottled beers, which were refreshing after the long day, ham, and of course, we had to try the octopus. It was tender and flavorful--definitely a highlight of the meal! The ambiance was lively, and the service was prompt, though it got a bit crowded as the afternoon went on. Overall, a great place to experience local flavors in a bustling atmosphere. I'd gladly return!
