Reviews
In one word: Superb. The staff was incredible, warm, friendly, and attentive from start to finish. Even though we arrived without a reservation, they graciously found a table for us. Every dish was outstanding, from the appetizers to the main courses and desserts. The food was bursting with flavor, rich in texture, and beautifully presented. On our way out, the team surprised us with a simple but heartfelt gesture. They had noticed how much our little one loved the bread and kindly gifted her a bag with a couple of loaves to take home. It was such a thoughtful touch and truly warmed our hearts. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience. We will definitely be back the next time we visit Coruña. Thank you for such a memorable evening!
One of the best Galician dining experiences we’ve ever had. Every dish felt like a true symphony of flavors, beautifully balanced and made for sharing. The tuna was simply outstanding — probably the best we’ve ever tasted. The zamburiñas were incredibly delicate and perfectly prepared, while the beef was exceptionally tender and full of flavor. And the passion fruit and chocolate dessert was absolutely sensational — the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal. Excellent ingredients, creative cooking, generous sharing portions, and an amazing atmosphere. And to top it all off, the value for money is simply unbeatable — one of the best we’ve ever experienced. A restaurant we would return to without hesitation. Exceptional from start to finish.
Had a great lunch here. The avocado cannelloni was a unique starter, with just the right spicy quality. The server suggested that I try a half-portion of the red peppers stuffed with steak tartare, it was excellent. The red snapper was a generous portion and well-cooked. The mushrooms that came with it were rather crunchy and a great addition. I did ask for some fresh lemon because it greatly improved the fish and I am always surprised that it isn't provided to start with as it would be in any mediterranean country. The desert sounded interesting, but the reality was a bit of a let-down. After two weeks of dining here in Northern Spain every day, I do have to say that it seems difficult to find a desert that isn't overly sweet. This one was a big piece of sponge cake, with one side caramelized with a crust of sugar. The lemongrass sauce did come through at all. I ate the ice cream and left most of the rest on the plate. It was not a great finish to an otherwise outstanding lunch. But overall a good meal.
I was looking forward to try this place however was bit disappointed. I was expecting more due to the hype and the price. The hake was brilliant, so the tuna and the filipinos for dessert. The staff is super professional and friendly, but I found it a bit too pricey. Maybe do yourself a favour and go to Terreo instead! I wouldn't come back here, there are better places in Coruña for this price.
Food was outstanding. We’ve been travelling around Galicia, Basque Country and to Madrid as well. This was one of the best meals we had; very deserving of its bib gourmand and better than some 1 Michelin star places we went to on the trip. Great value as well. Chef Alberto was warm and friendly (as were all of the staff) and he came out to check on us every now and then. Had a great conversation about his visit to our home country :) We had the tasting menu. The starting course featured tomato 3 ways, rehydrated, soup, grilled. There was a nice touch of acidity which awakens the palate. The cucumber concentrate with tuna was also very refreshing. There’s an eggplant dish that tasted so good- there’s a meaty texture and flavour to it that made me wonder if it’s really just eggplant. The wine recommendations were also absolutely spot on- went perfectly with the food. This place is definitely worth a visit and I would travel there again if I can!
