We asked for authentic, typically local cuisine and this little restaurant on the Main Street to the cathedral scored on both fronts. The woman who served us was so helpful. Her English was a lot better than our Spanish. Mist if the customers were Spanish. So that was encouraging. We arrive unfashionably early at 8:30. We easily secured a table but when we left it was jumping. We shared the duckling lamb with potatoes and salad. All top quality. It was incredible. We could not finish it. The waitress recommended a local wine which was great and we received a complimentary glass of something local. Also delicious. Not cheap by Spanish standards but very good value for quality and portions. Very happy and would definitely recommend it.

Firstly we were served bread and some not very nice cured beef tongue with our drinks, we assumed this was complimentary, but it was billed for. Food was okay but quite expensive for what it was certainly when compared to the food we had become accustomed to in other cities in NW Spain e.g. Oviedo, Santander, Bilbao.

I went for the Menu del Dia, for €22, I got a gigantic salad, the table next to me had the same,but they had to share it . Mains was a lot of thin sliced pork in a good sauce. All with a few glasses of white wine.Rice pudding and coffee to finish off. Fantastic food for a nice price.
