Monkfish rivera was thickened with cornflour/flour ... Knorr style. Local white Wine was excellent. This 30 euro couldn't compare to the awesome tapas served complimentary with a beer in any of the local pulperias/bars.

My husband had the pilgrim menu €18) 4 courses and has got to be the best pilgrim menu he’s had, it was like food from master chef.. I am a gluten free vegetarian and had the Padron peppers, gluten free roll, vegetarian rice and the sorbet, again my food was delicious. We found the staff to be courteous, friendly and very helpful with our requests. We would definitely recommend this hotel.

Salt cod cooked Galician Style. Almond tart. Super red wine. We traded up on the Pilgrim menu and were charged a very modest extra amount.
