Signature Plates You Can’t Miss

Tortilla Española

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.

Grilled Octopus

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.

Caldo Galego

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.

Squid Croquettes

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.

Steamed Mussels

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.

Cod with Peppers and Potatoes

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.

Black Spaghetti with Baby Eels & Prawns

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.

San Simón Cheese with Tomato Jam

Smoked San Simón cheese from Galicia, gently melted and paired with homemade tomato jam, crisp crackers, and walnuts. A perfect balance of sweet, smoky, and creamy — simple yet irresistibly refined.

Restaurant located near the Galician Museum. It’s a beautifully restored stone building with two floors. The ground floor features a charming dining area covered by a large vine ceiling. The food is exquisite, and the service is fast and professional.
