"Good food, slightly pricey.
Definitely a fish restaurant!"
Andrea Martinelli
"This is my fourth time at La Escondita. I would define their cooking as poetry. Everything is exquisite in flavour and presentation. I have tried a number of dishes and enjoyed all of them. There is a range of fresh fish, meat, vegetables as well as savoury desserts. I will come back... and you should definitely give it a try

Dónde comer los mejores chuletones de A Coruña y sus alrededores
Escondido, como bien dice su nombre, entre el palacio municipal de María Pita y la calle Troncoso, justo detrás del pub Rialto, se encuentra este restaurante especializado en carnes y pescados a la brasa. Este hermoso local es famoso por su lubina en horno de leña y por sus calçots en temporada, pero también cuenta en su menú con el chuletón de vaca vieja por 40 euros el kilo, uno de los precios más competitivos de la ciudad.
