However, inside the dining room is very nice. There is a good selection and price range on the A La Carte menu. They also have a good wine list. Service was friendly and without fuss. We had starters and mains, with a bottle of Mencia (Ribeira Sacra), plus water and bread. Total cost €58. Starters were: Sopa de Pescado y Marisco Tasty with plenty of fish. Croquetas de Boletus y Foie Didn 't deliver on the promising description. Mains were: Spaghetti Carbonara A good (but not great) Carbonara Tallarines con Setas Shiitake Again didn 't deliver on the expectation. Nothing to complain about but nothing to get excited about either.

Food was good and there was plenty for a good price. They delivered to the hotel (Grand Hotel Lugo) and I could pay with credit card. read more Food was good and there was plenty for a good price. They delivered to the hotel (Grand Hotel Lugo) and I could pay with credit card.

Three of us had a stiff g and t each, we shared two starters (bbq vegetables and croquettes), mains were pizza, paella and spag bog...we didn't bother with puddings. There was nothing wrong with the food, it was just very ordinary. With a tip, I paid €75 (say, £56/57), not bad, but we won't bother going again when we're next in Lugo.

Especially liked the black squid ink pasta. Good portions as well. Service was not the greatest. We asked for a different table than one assigned and were given sour looks. Also, I accidentally spilled a glass of water moving to the different table and we really got a lousy look from waiter. They need more graceful staff. Shame as it affected my rating above.

There is no cross-contamination, I ordered both pasta and pizza and bread and the service is perfect. read more There is no cross-contamination, I ordered both pasta and pizza and bread and the service is perfect.
