"A wonderful lunch in a super casual and relaxed atmosphere. Please do not expect a linen tablecloth or fine china. This is a traditional restaurant with well prepared traditional dishes. The servers were pleasant and efficient. My wife and I noted that some other restaurants my force in more tables. We commend the proprietor for the current arrangement which allows for conversation and a pleasant atmosphere.
My wife and I shared the embutido variada which had a wonderful variety of cured meats and cheese, pulpo, and pimientos de Padrón. We also had a jarra of the house white served in traditional cups and which was of reasonable quality. The pulpo was perfectly done. We arrived shortly before 2 pm on a Saturday and had to wait nearly an hour for a table. It was worth the wait but we would either go a bit earlier or arrive closer to 3 pm when we go again."

Tel. 981 291 819. Mapa), y continuar luego hacia la avenida de Oza. Allí, la Cervecería Los Castros (Avenida de Oza, 124. Tel. 981 137 082. Mapa) ofrece a diario una veintena de tapas, entre las que destacan clásicos coruñeses como el raxo (lomo de cerdo) o la zorza con patatas.
