“ This has probably been our best lunch experience in the past years! The waiter was super friendly and even though I can only speak broken Portuguese and no Spanish, the waiter did his best and was very welcoming. The food was simply amazing! Totally recommend this wonderful restaurant! ”
“ We were here for a Menu del Día, everything good and tasty and the price is good for the dessert and drink included. A lot of people, though, too crowdy. ”
“ One of the funniest evening's we had in Spain. Local recommendation. Super food, even though we didn't speak spanish we managed to order via a picture book. And we weren't disappointed..very delicious. ”
“ Just went here for a little bit of tour and ended up eating here....maybe its a well known restaurant thats why we needed to wait for a longer time but the food is worth the wait (so tasty---we will be back for sure) Bacalao...gambas...merluza.... chuleta ”
“ Oh my God, this is the most mom and pop Galician restaurant in Tui, Pontevedra. You can eat tapa style, brunch €13.00, or menu. Beatriz the owner is a wonderful gal. She's always present and attentive. This is a great place to lunch or dine in. ”
“ We had the most wonderful lunch at this place! The staff was efficient and friendly and the food was the best! ”
“ Brilliant Galician (Gallega) experience! The food is great. The service very kind. The price super fair! ”
“ You'd be forgiven for thinking that it was some kind of community centre when you first look inside but don't let that put you off, the food is exceptional. We're in the habit of filling up on the set menu for lunch - three course incl. wine for € 10 (you can find cheaper but it won't be as good by a long way) - and just snacking in the evening. The starters are a meal in themselves and desserts can even be inventive. Excellent meat and fish main courses. ”
