This is a lovely park that has great views of the cathedral however it is not too big and the view is the main thing. Easily accessible from the city centre.

This beautiful park is the perfect place for an enjoyable stroll around, sheltered by various trees, with beautifully maintained flower beds and an ornate pond with river and ornate miniature bridges to walk over. The park is just a few minutes on foot from the Cathedral.

Great park for a good walk.

I absolutely love this park. To have a coffee in one of its many benches with a view of the stunning Cathedral is luxury at its best!

The park beneath the Cathedral of St James made for residents and pilgrims who reached their ultimate destination. The peaceful atmosphere makes people to remain active while others prefer to remain calm

Parque fantástico que tiene una de las mejores vistas de la Catedral de Santiago. Hay bancos y se respira un entorno verde y natural. Recomiendo ver la puesta de sol alli, totalmente recomendable. (Translated by Google) Fantastic park that has one of the best views of the Cathedral of Santiago. There are benches and you can breathe a green and natural environment. I recommend watching the sunset there, totally recommended.

Great city centre park with plenty of seating but no refreshments so take your own. Lovely views of the cathedral and surrounding countryside. At the back.yoy have a magnificent three tiered palladian staircase.

Easily one of the most beautiful parks I have ever visited. Great view of the cathedral, beautiful gardens, places for tanning, reading in the shade, walking and ruminating.

A nice public park for a walk. Lots of well kept plants and nice level footpaths.

Gorgeous park with beautiful trees and magnificent scenery. Best view of Santiago's cathedral!

A safe haven of peace & tranquility in a beautiful city. A world away from stress and headache. Beautiful flowers and tree canopy. Somewhere to relax with family & loved ones.

I gave this museum 3 stars mainly due to it being a little bit stuck in the past (in terms of exhibit style and general presentation) as well as for the lack of reading resources in any other language other than Galego/Gallego/Galician. I think it’s great that the museum is preserving its culture and language like this, but for foreign visitors it means we miss out on a lot of information. I also would have liked to see some representation of life in Galicia now, as well as what the future looks like for the community going forward. But that’s just my opinion. Give this museum a go if you have a spare hour or two in the city on a rainy day, but honestly there are probably more interesting sites and attractions to visit elsewhere in Santiago.

Interesting museum on the Galician history. The stairs and the cloisters alone are worth the visit

This museum is in a beautiful building and has thousands of interesting artifacts, and on Sundays admission is free. However, almost none of the descriptions at the displays are in any language other than Gallego (they're not even in Spanish), and the app that you should be able to download to get descriptions in Spanish and English (maybe French, too) is so old that it was incompatible with recent versions of Android; it wouldn't work with either my Galaxy 22 or my wife's Pixel 6. Another problem was the lack of seating. There are a lot of stairs to climb; many older visitors will find the museum strenuous and will find nowhere to sit until they've almost seen the whole museum if they follow the arrows on the floor. This museum is not recommended if you're only in Santiago de Compostela for a few days.

Interesting museum about Galician life, crafts and customs ... very moderate entrance fee ... 😊

This is an excellent museum housed in a former monastery with lots of details of traditional Galician ways of life and culture, and entrance is only 4 euros. It's principal drawback is that everything is in Galician and very little is translated. They have made the foolish decision that to sustain their language they will use it alone, which is not the way to convince non Galicians to be supportive. To explain you have to communicate. However, the saving grace is that for ONE euro they have an English language 50 page booklet that is superb, and with which I could follow everything and learnt a lot. It is so good that I have given them 5 stars regardless. Purchase of the guide is essential unless you speak Galician. I think there is a Spanish version as well.

Interesantísimo museo etnográfico situado en un antiguo convento junto al camino por el que los peregrinos llegan a Santiago. Oficios, indumentaria, tradiciones, mar y campos, el trabajo de la mujer... Un delicioso panorama de la cultura tradicional de Galicia. (Translated by Google) An extremely interesting ethnographic museum located in an old convent next to the path by which pilgrims arrive in Santiago. Trades, clothing, traditions, sea and fields, the work of women... A delicious panorama of the traditional culture of Galicia.

It's a fun memory that I took the whole morning trying to locate this museum and ended up first half wandering at the park nearby. I would say that the signboard isn't really standout to me. The staff was soo nice giving me a reduced price ticket (1.5 euro) even though I was just a student far far away from this city. Came for the staircases but definitely need more time to explore. There's little or no English text display so make sure to download google translate before your visit.

Interesting museum about the Galician culture and crafts. You can buy a museum guide for €1 in English. The exhibition is only in the Galician language (not Spanish). Despite the english language guide, we didn't understand some details since they were left out of the guide. Bu, it was an interesting museum, and most things are understandable for foreign visitors since most displays speak for itself. My advice is to explore this museum even when you're not Galician or Spanish.

Loved it. So interesting and in such a brilliant location...very atmospheric

En antiguo convento de los dominicos, se encuentra el museo do pobo galego. Cultura gallega desde los orígenes de la población en los oficios y artes de la pesca, mineria, hierro, piedra, ceramica y alfarería... Instrumentos musicales, trajes regionales, encajes... Para conocer las tradiciones locales. (Translated by Google) In the old Dominican convent, is the museum of the Galician people. Galician culture from the origins of the population in the trades and arts of fishing, mining, iron, stone, ceramics and pottery... Musical instruments, regional costumes, lace... To learn about local traditions.

I think there are a lot of information missing about the exposed objects and what is more incomprensible it was only in Gallego. I guess is the Gallego people museum and only for Gallego people.

Even pelgrims need to buy a 10 euro ticket to see this entrance. What a warm welcome. I'm glad I came by car. No vale la peña

Amazing medieval porch “portico” of the Cathedral de Santiago de Compostela. Entrance fee is €12. Buy your ticket in advance. This ticket give you also access to the cathedral’s museum

Spectacular portico, but there is litttle space and/or light to truly appreciate its beauty. And it is unbelievable they charge separately to see this, and you better book ahead on their web weeks in advance or forget about it. The Catholic churh business and exploitation of works of art that belong to humanity, not to Rome, know no limits.

10 euros to see the masterful, polychromatic poético of the cathedral. Opinion was.qbout evenly divided in our group about whether it was worth it. Read about it before going to get more out of.it. do not take pictures. Do not wear a hat. Be quiet and respectful.

I would come walking the “camino de Santiago” just to see it. So beautiful!

The cathedral is great, BUT: we came from Germany to see Santiago de Compostela and a part of it is Pórtico de la Gloria. The website did not allow to book two weeks in advance. We called at least ten times two different landlines and tried the same on a given mobile number. No one in none of them picked up the phone. There was just an answering machine saying tickets must be obtained at the museum cash in person. Today we were the first in the queue prior to opening at 10.30am. Well, they had some in two days for us when we will be back home. Even if asked inside the Basilica, where the entrance is placed now, we were not let to pass in, although 4 people of thw visiting group had left and we saw it. What to say the puerta is ok, quitw similar to the one in Toro, same concept just slightly bigger. (I've seen both) The service here is a shame and not worth to be visited. Visiting and booking infrastructure seems to be older than the puerta itself, somr dinosaur age. And the worst is the absolute lack of friendliness of the staff. They even said with such a honest review one would do them a favour, so here we go! All visitors from far away, be aware to visit the beautiful basílica / Catedral but without the Puerta!!! By the way, it seems it is run by another 'fundación' which is independent from the Catedral. Just a shame... Best regards

The Santiago Cathedral. Enchanting place. Looks divine during the day or at night under the moonlight. It's been said apostol Saint James has been buried there.

It is amazing to see the front entrance to the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Strangely you cannot take photos as they believe the taking of photos will damage the paint on the sculptures. I think they are thinking of old fashioned flash photography. They have an excellent booklet but in Spanish only. The guard is a wealth of information but only in Spanish. It is helpful to designate someone in your group to interpret to get the full explanation.

The cathedral itself is amazing. The tour sold by the museum is very interesting but quite long for the amount of ground covered. It primarily involves climbing to the roof and then sitting on the roof listening to the history of the construction. We had a lovely day but I would have liked to seen more of the structure than just from the rooftop. If you have unsure balance or vertigo/height concerns this is not for you. Most of the discussion is only in Spanish

It is gorgeous. Unfortunately the altar mor was covered in scalding. The actual main gate is closed which is disappointing. Still highly recommend. The organs are beautiful.

Nice museum in case you are interested in religious art. The architecture is also nice. As usual, hardly any English explanations or a QR code for further explanations. Two major minus points: 1: no English speaking personal at the cashier: for me a no-go in such famous museum. 2: the tickets can bought as combination with other attractions like the portico. We heard of the the visit of the museum and need to buy new tickets including the museum again!! For me a complete no-go! At the cashier side I found indeed a small price table in fontsize 10. Why not a large sign with all combinations? So easy and will avoid above situations.

A good museum with lots to see but be careful if you don't speak Galician or Spanish. There are many interesting things to see in this museum including the cloister and the balcony looking over the square but do be aware that most of the signs inside only have Spanish and Galician which might limit your experience a bit. You can pay extra to go on a tour of the roof and tower but the tour is also only in Spanish. Otherwise 4€ for a student ticket was great value and is a must see if you are visiting the museum!

Good to look aground the museum. A variety of thing from robes, tapestries, an old censer, old books, statues, magnificent old bells Bells, film about restoring part of the cathedral. Took us a couple of hours.

Nice museum to visit about the history of the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. The work of Mestre Mateo is really worth visiting. Entrance fee is €12

Museum full of history and treasures. You can also look around hidden side of the cathedral and look down the plaza from its balcony. If you are a big fan of Santiago or a pilgrim, you must visit this place. Entrance fee is 6€ and for pilgrims/students 4€.

I definitely recommend the tour on the roof & the tower. The views are fantastic and I think it’s very special that you can walk around on the roof of a cathedral! Even though the tour was in spanish our tour guide Natalia summarised the main points in english. It was a great experience! The rest of the museum was not that interesting to me. Lots of information was only given in spanish and galician. When buying the ticket I also didn’t see Info’s about an english audioguide. If there is one, than it should be advertised better.

A very ambitious and magnificent building but quite spooky. Huge, that is, 'too huge' and empty in every sense. Somehow it seems to reflect exclusively the power and wealth of the region (although it seems to me that it is the power and wealth of Santiago and not Galicia). This makes it seem distant from people, and culture and art are something else. I visited a wonderful exhibition and that's the only thing I liked.

A very nice place not too far away from the city at the top of a hill. It's vast and spacious, good for bike rides, skateboards or just for a quality walk. Has a special place with a pleasant view to see the sunset. Includes many buildings: museum, library, free VR experience (has to be booked in advance), cafeteria and many more. Recommend it.

A really lovely spot to visit, tons of space, nice views, coffee. The architecture is astounding, wow. I want to see music and live performances here, I want to project light and video onto the walls. Good for the family, parks, walks, museums, art, cafe, food, toilets. Good work Galicia, money well spent.

Impressive architecture, free modern art museum and landscaped walks with views of the city and random artworks to find. There is also a fun play area for children of all ages.

Great place to enjoy modern deconstructivism architecture by Peter Eisenmann. There are interesting exhibitions in a contemporary art museum. Almost all buildings are accessible except Court

Priceless!! What an inspiring beautiful gem of a place!! Absolutely fabulous!! The photographs & the structure plus the curves are magnifique!! Loved the nature area with the man made lake. There is a great cafe and amazingly clean bathroom facilities. The fantastic views & the wonderful staff. Unmissable location.

Fascinating buildings and museum, a huge contrast to the old town of Santiago. We walked here from the centre of historical Santiago de Compostela, which was a lovely and relaxing excursion.

As a family of architects we found these five buildings fascinating. Though it's seems to have become a dog park and play ground for the locals after 8:00 pm.

I wouldn't really recommend visiting here. There isn't much to see if you are a tourist. The museum only has one open exhibitions which is quite small. The exhibition is also only in Galician and Spanish so do bear that in mind. The only other things to see are the sculptures which although are interesting is definitely not worth a bus fare or the lengthy hike from the city centre!

Very beautiful buildings but pretty chaotic. A lot of things were to be build (cafeteria) or was closed with workers everywhere. Nothing was advertised as "in maintenance" tho.

Ate here 3 times when I was in Santiago De Compostela. The variety is great, seafood is fresh and delicious. Try the grilled scallops and prawns. And there's something quite special, brie cheese coated with nuts and then deep fried, draped in a sweet berry sauce, super delicious 😋.

The restaurant was reccomended by a friend and didn't disappoint. Situated in the "old town" part of Santiago, it's very close to the Cathedral making it the perfect place for lunch. It also opens at 11.30 AM, much earlier than most of the other good places to eat.

Stopped in and staff was very helpful. We were seated promptly at 7ish for a light dinner. Ordered scallops, fried calamari and potatoes . Husband ordered a beer and I had had water. The food was hot, the staff spoke English which was a plus. A good experience.

Popped in for a quick beer and tapas, the place is slightly upmarket decorated, staff all wear traditional uniforms and the bar counter is teaming with choices of delicious looking food. We had anchovy pepper stuffed with who knows what, tasted of nothing, a Russian salad - can't go wrong usually but tasted mostly of potato, and a chorizo dish - looked amazing but was again, tasteless and dry as hell. Expected a lot more but the beer was good

Best tapas bar in town. Food tastes great. Went early and bar had 2 open seats. The Pulpo (octopus), zamburiñas with shrimp, and Brie with almond and blueberry were divine. Look for Effren, amazing guy and made the best sangria. Highly recommend this place.

This tapas restaurant looks quite impressive from out the door, that is why we had to stop here for a quick bite in the famous street Rústico do Franco in the very center of Santiago. The most catching tapas are the scallops (zamburiñas) which come in their shelf, and we absolutely loved!! Very very tasty, and they come five in one order and it costs around 13 euros, so I guess it’s reasonable for a quite expensive dish. If you walk around the area you can find 6euros a piece. Just for this dish I think they deserve a 5 stars!

Decent place with delicious food and nominal prices. The staff were happy to get a custom salad though not on the menu despite the place being busy with long queues to get in. Arriving a little earlier than the dinner time seems to be the trick to avoid a queue. Recommend : show a multilingual menu... It is more like £ rather than ££

Amazing food and service. The place aaa packed when we arrived. We were on waitlist for about 10 minutes only. All the dishes we had were great - frito prawns, Pedron peppers, scallops. Anchovies and tomato salad. The local Rioja wine was also excellent. For desert we had the cheesecake with crème brûlée which was off the charts delicious. Highly recommend Ps: our experience was made more memorable as we met a few Aussie travelers at the restaurant

Unexpectedly delicious fusion restaurant using fresh local ingredients with a twist. The experience was extraordinary, from the shared tables (we were very lucky and got front view of the kitchen), to the attentive service and the amazing flavors and presentation of all dishes from the appetizers to desserts. The team is already fantastic and I loved how the lady chef took the time to provide feedback to the staff. I wonder what they could do if they took the pressure down a notch and bring a bit of fun to their craft? We’ll definitely be back!!

We visited last night for the second time. We were a little nervous as the first experience had been so fantastic but we were not disappointed. The food and service were amazing. Watching the chefs at work was brilliant. So much attention to detail. We loved the new decor too with the little quirky touches. Will definately visit again next time we are in Santiago de Compostela

Simply exceptional! The food, the staff, the wine all exceptional. By far the best experience I have had in all of Spain! It was so good that I am considering flying from Madrid to Santiago to take my friend who is visiting from the USA in September. A must to book and a must to dine if you happen to visit Santiago. I didn’t take many photos because we ate the food very fast! After finishing lunch, we sat in the garden to take coffee and the Resturant didn’t want us to rush and enjoy the full experience.

The positives: the food is great and some dishes where amazing! The decor and vibe is good and fun/modern. Seeing the kitchen in full action close up adds a very interesting dimension to the experience and I really liked that. Seeing Martin keeping it all under control and getting the dishes out was an awesome experience. They have a class garden area at the back where you can have a coffee or a drink after your meal. That was really nice and felt relaxed and allowed some time to take it all in. The strange bits: The way the restaurant is set up (Sharing a big table with other people / you don't get a say on what food you order / more laid back service than one would expect) will not be for everyone! I thought that losing control over what you order allowed us to try some things that I would not have ordered normally. My favourite dish of the day was discovered this way. Sharing a table was a bit intimidating for me but not too much of a problem after the initial shock. It also allows you to have a sneaky look at your neighbors dish and feel good, or bad, about what lands in front of you. I didn't get to try the tartar but my neighbor did :( but we got one up on them when our amazing fish salad appeared and they had a measly soup :) The service was great but not the normal over the top, which I think is the point and I liked it. The negatives: way to rushed. Having two slots for dinner (8:30 or 10:30) means that they need rush you. There wasn't a massive explanation of the dishes and by the time you are on the desert, 65 minutes after sitting down, you are overwhelmed and have forgotten what you first had! Not expecting the A to Z on each plate but a bit of showmanship and education is always nice. But the biggest problem for me was the dishes and presentation. I get this is probably my own particular expectation for a Michelin star restaurant, and lots of people will not care about this, but I love seeing all the unique ways of serving the food and the amazing plates, dishes, knifes and other amazing things these chefs use to present the food... I guess that they have changed the dishes since the last photos I saw before booking the restaurant because everything was served on boring white plates and one of them was chipped... That bit was really disappointing for me and hence the 3 stars review. But the food was very good!

Absolutely delicious restaurant in a quiet street in the heart of Santiago. If you like seafood and not having to pick from a menu, you need to come here; the chefs will sort everything for you. Delicious food, great service, and an excellent wine list as well.

This restaurant has no menus yet Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant in Santiago Compostela.The service is unmatched. The staff and chef truly cares about your experience. The food is absolutely amazing – everything we tasted melted in other mouths. Absolutely the best meal we had while in Galicia. Highly recommend!

An amazing experience. For a group of peregrinos finishing our camino, this was the ultimate stop for our group lunch together. They have a beautiful private room, a stunning selection of wines, delicious menu. Vegetarian options available. Truly fantastic. We were so grateful to the entire team for such an incredible experience. Thank you for making our final day together so very special!

Amazing lunch. Delicious food, beautifully prepared, and professionally served. Multilingual wait-staff was knowledgeable and attentive. A world class dining experience without being gimmicky or fussy. CAN RECOMMEND 😎👍🎉

We sat at the chef’s table, which was absolutely fantastic. I was about one metre away from a chef preparing food. The kitchen was calm and it was a lovely atmosphere. We started with some traditional garlic soup with mackerel, which was good, if slightly bland; then there was delicious tuna sashimi, which came with olive oil and balsamic vinegar rather than the classic soy and wasabi. The tuna was amazing, but I would have preferred soy and wasabi. Next was a fried potato dish where the potatoes had been sliced then put together like leeks, before being fried and served with egg yolk. That was amazing but felt like more of a side dish. Then was a seabass dish which came with apple dressing: really delicious. Best course of the meal. The last savoury course was quail with a sticky sauce. That was really good but I think the potato dish should have been served as a side to that. Finally, we had two desserts: one was a berry sorbet with cream and the other a millefeuil with custard. The former was ok but nothing special; the latter was excellent. Overall, the food was really good. The main issue was that it came way too quickly. I think it was about an hour between our first and our last (seventh) courses, which is a bit too fast in my opinion. We were then encouraged to have a drink outside; I got the impression they wanted us to leave to free up the seats. Maybe a longer sitting would be preferable. That said, it was a really nice experience and I really enjoyed the food.

Best reward after finishing El Camino! The chef defines the menu and surprises you throughout the meal. Loved his frequent check ins. Well worth a visit

Casa Marcelo is a one-of-a-kind experience. The style of service, where guests sit on a long table all together and the restaurant chooses the 6-course meal for the night, is unique and unexpected (I didn’t do my homework before arrival but I don’t mind the surprise). The wait staff take their jobs seriously and work promptly and I can tell the head of FOH puts a lot of his heart into his work. I also admire a place that works with an open kitchen, as I understand the level of discipline it takes to work in and maintain one. The decor is also unique, the modern interior decor stood out, especially in the bathroom. The food was rich and well-crafted. I was most impressed by the sea bass (tender, moist, delicious), while my least favourite was the Chinese aubergine (something I felt I could realistically do at home — not that this is a bad thing at all, but when I dine at a Michelin star I do come to expect the unexpected). The bread was marvellous, I haven’t had bread so wonderful in recent or distant memory. For about £200 for two people, Casa Marcelo is an experience worth putting on your list if you are visiting Santiago.

Iconic in Santiago and the tapa of Tortilla is superb! Great atmosphere and service. We love this taverna but it always packed so be prepared to wait for a table as there is always a queue!

Some of the most friendly staff and best service I’ve ever experienced in Spain. And you get a free tortilla tapa with every drink! One of the few places that I found was open all day. Mostly locals, worth a stop

We love this small interesting bar with great food. Service is always friendly & efficient, even when incredibly busy. When in the city we call in for coffee or lunch never fails to be excellent. We are old, so not so much in the evenings, the atmosphere is great.

Bar La Tita seems to be a pretty famous bar. There was a lot of people waiting a table. I read that the tortilla is very good but I can not agree totally with that. The tortilla was just ok. Then I ordered a portion of croquetas and they weren’t good, they were a bit cold inside and they didn’t have nothing special. So I think it’s better to go there just for a beer.

Awesome bar in the city center, their tortilla tapas are amazing and go for free with every drink. The waiters are super welcoming and friendly. The place is buzzing in the evening, so better get in early

If you order a glass of beer you we'll get a pintxo de tortilla and bread. The tortilla doesn't contain onions as the usual spanish tortilla, it's only eggs and potatoes so it's safe even for those with alliums intolerance. Price: around 2.70 euros. I ordered a 🍺 + 1 plate of polpo a la gallega (bread incl) and paid around 21.50 euros. The portion was enough for 2 people. It's not the cheapest place but the food was good and if you can eat at the bar you don't have to wait for a table.

The tortilla is amazing, chipirones fantastic and chips, eggs and chorizo to die for !!! The staff are great and the price is incredibly low !!! A must place to go if you’re in Santiago

AMAZING! please just go and enjoy your drink and food. It is one of the the nicest places l i’ve ever been. Workers are super nice and atmosphere also! Me and my husband went there 3 times during our stay of 2 days in this city.

Mixed feelings about Bar La Tita, happy to have only spent one night here. The rooms are a bit dirty and small, luckily not super noisy in the morning. Food and drinks very good value, tortilla portion was worth it. Centric which is what you are paying for, but can't say we would stay again or recommend to anyone.

Nice place for a sunny day. It can become quite crowded though. Saw a lot of people waiting for a table.

Best tortilla in Santiago. My friend and I had the tapa that came with our drinks and some raxo. Best lunch ever.

They had lunch these small restaurant and everything was very good and very tasteful we had patatas bravas we had to polvo and a pollo a la plancha ...They surve tortilla with pan with every bear ...I will surly recommend this place ..You have to wait in the rush hours

Was really looking forward to trying this place and was really very disappointed. We luckily managed to get a spot at the bar after only a short wait and finally got served a beer after another short wait , the tortilla came 10 mins after, and at this stage my beer had already been drank. The tortilla was ok but not great, definitely not worth the wait. Although ok with us , the barman was incredibly rude to multiple people while we were there and never served any tortilla/tapas to some who were waiting longer than us, many of which just left after being told there's other bars around when asking if they could be served a drink, very odd behaviour. Seems like the popularity has caught up with them and they can't keep up, disappointing overall and would recommend to avoid

Probably the best restaurant right now in town, if not, at least is a must. Eating outside or inside the restaurant are both great options but not same experience. I'll recommend eating at the restaurant and the full 50€/p menu. This an eating experience. (No meat). Fish, seafood, cake, ... In different forms and styles. The octopus and the knives are to die for !!!! Wine selection is great, let them help you with that, so many great local wines to try. Friendly staff, helpful, cheerful.

Great place to have a quick lunch right next to the market! Abastos uses only fresh local ingredients from the market and you can really feel the incredible quality of the seafood. When I had almejas, berberechos and pulpo there … I felt like I tasted those first time in my life - too tasty to be true!!!! Cherry on top - all the camareros are super attentive, kind and fast. I think one day I will take a flight from Barcelona just to go there and have that pulpo again ! 🤩🐙

Definitely good quality seafood here. Waiter was a bit rude to us in the beginning. This was one of our most expensive lunches. The squid was recommended but I guess it wasn’t on the menu. I didn’t ask for the price thinking it would be around 10-20 like other things on their menu but it was $30. Very expensive. It was good and a big portion but I wouldn’t have gotten that for that price. It was a little too salty and garlicky even though I did like it. My mouth was so dry for the rest of the day. Also had mackerel which is a strong fish but they paired it with a sauce and some picketed vegetables and it was good. The wine was local and I think only 3 euros a glass. Overall it was an okay experience and a bit over priced. It is cool they use ingredients from the market next door.

This place is amazing. Fresh fish caught that day on a fix menu (whatever is best at the market), but they ask about alergies and if there is anything you don't like (like raw fish) and prepare it to your preferences. You can order extras after you had the set in case you want more or want to try stuff you never had before and want the freshest for your first time - like me. We had razor clams (my fist time trying), mini scallops and cockles on top of the fix menu (for 4 of us) and we were full. The staff are amazing, explain everything to you and recommend great wines too. This meal was an absolute highlight of our travels around north of Spain and at very reasonable price too.

I had a late lunch at Abastos 2.0 at the beginning of May. Check on the map, there is another place in the nearby market with the name of Abastos, not the same business, not the same experience. I let the waiter put together my lunch, focused on fish. All the raw fish food were excellent, for the main I asked grilled octopus that was also superb. Very nice informal place.

Amazing food and a great atmosphere! I had the fixed lunch menu inside the restaurant, with an appetizer, a starter, a salad, fish and a desert - great experience, great taste and very friendly service. Sitting at the bar watching the food being prepared was a lot of fun! Would definitely go again!

Came here for lunch on recommendation. It’s location is on the outside of the indoor market (not the inside, where Abastos is!). We were shown tables under umbrellas and told the dishes available plus recommended some white wine which was very good Ribiera. We then ordered 3 dishes - cod, octopus and tuna cake plus one oyster. The quality was good, not brilliant and the amount was average, again not brilliant. The service was efficient if a bit pushy... Overall it was a very good experience and we enjoyed it

The menu is composed of whatever they have in the market that day, which is synonym for great food and nice presentations. The fixed menu is €30 (drinks not included) and you can order more things on top of it if you wish. It is a 5 course meal that will not leave you hungry, but trying some extras seems a MUST! Just one quick tip: if you’re looking for the classic cheap restaurant in Santiago, skip this one, you should know that quality has a price! Will come back next time I’m in town!

As always the food is amazing and the atmosphere is also really nice, especially during the evening when the streets are more quiet but the service is so much under pressure and rushing you to order that it almost effects the quality of the food

Awesome and very different experience. Authentic, Similar to a good traditional tapas bar. Lots of people in the bar, everything "home-made" and unique simple setting. The best empanadas gallegas I've ever tried, lots of shellfish . Can't miss the caldo gallego (Galician soup) it's a must especially after the Camino!! Reservations are not accepted. We waited like 15-20mins for a table while eating empanadas and drinking albariño €2.40 a glass or €14 bottle. Really sensible priced. Don't expect fancy, not even comfy, just eat and leave satisfied :)

A little bit pricey but so fresh so it's worthy!!

A nondescript store from the outside but the black cat invites. It looks very chaotic inside but even if no one speaks fluent English, you are warmly welcomed and served. The food is excellent. You get fresh seafood at a fair price! Definitely a must go for foodies.

Crowded even during the lowest of the seasons, this place has really good food. Service is, as someone mentioned, chaotic, but not rude. Wine is served in a wide and shallow porcelain cup that reminded me of the way they sometimes drink tea in Japan. Food comes in simple plates was well, but when you taste it you realize why the hell this is so packed. Percebes where on par with the best I’ve ever had (Ramiro, Lisbon, of course), and the pulpo was juicy, tender and with perfect seasoning.

What an amazing place! Great service, extremely fun and accommodating staff!! Wonderful food - got the spider crab - super tasty!! Can't wait to go back!!

Wonderful, authentic Taverna specializing in quality, fresh Galician Seafood. It is always busy and they do not take reservations so expect to queue for a table. Give you name on arrival at the bar and you will be called in turn as tables become available. Very reasonably priced for fantastic fresh seafood. The Chopo is simply amazing and the Pulpo always cooked perfectly.
