For pilgrims finishing the Camino and travelers seeking authentic flavors, O Dezaseis is a warm stop to taste the true spirit of Galicia.

A Galician classic: soft potato omelette cooked slowly for a creamy heart and golden crust. Choose your favorite version — with vegetables, smoky chorizo, or cured ham — each one simple, hearty, and full of local flavor.

Tender and smoky, our Galician-style octopus is seared to perfection and drizzled with local olive oil. Served with soft potatoes and sea salt, it’s a dish that captures the essence of Galicia — simple, fresh, and unforgettable.

The soul of Galician home cooking. A warm, comforting broth made with local greens, potatoes, white beans, and a touch of smoked meat. Simple, rustic, and deeply satisfying.

Fresh from the Galician estuaries, our mussels are gently steamed to preserve their pure ocean flavor. Served simply with a drizzle of olive oil and lemon — clean, bright, and irresistibly fresh.

Flaky Atlantic cod seared until golden and served with roasted red peppers, and thinly sliced potatoes in a rich olive oil sauce. A timeless Galician recipe that balances simplicity, depth, and pure coastal flavor.

Squid-ink spaghetti sautéed with tender baby eels and juicy prawns, finished with olive oil, garlic, and a hint of chili. A rich, coastal dish that celebrates the bold flavors of Galicia’s sea.
