Served a two course meal, Galician soup and chicken (delicious dark meat) with potatoes.The food served family style was regional and generous in portions. Truly appreciated the owner allowing us to watch the Formula One Grand Prixe Barcelona and allowing us to stay for the satisfying race ending with a comfortable feeling from a great meal.

We were a party of 5 and tried the Caldo gallego, sopa de fideo and croquetas all fantastic. We followed this with carne asada and osobusco simple but perfectly cooked. Of the deserts, the tarta de queso horno was spectacular. Great price, friendly service, homely setting. Considered getting a taxi back the following day despite staying 30km away !

You access the dining room via the kitchen where two little Galician ladies in their 80's are preparing food. The pumpkin soup was probably the best I've ever tasted and the pulpo superb. Unusually for me, I couldn't finish the meal! Highly recommended.

However the wine was good!

On arrival we were walked through the kitchen which was spotless before sitting down in a very traditional dining room.All our fellow diners were local people which we took as a good sign. The food, wine and service were all excellent. Great value for a special lunch along the Camino.
