Reviews Summary

Restaurante La Sartén is praised for its exceptionally good seafood and meat dishes, with many highlighting the high quality and homemade touches like french fries. Service is frequently described as outstanding and attentive, though some reviewers mention slow service. While not a budget option, the price is considered reasonable for the quality, but one highly negative review cited a 'tourist trap' experience with terrible food and poor service.

"The service was a little slow but it was worth every minute to wait because the food was incredibly good. It's not a budget friendly place but if you are looking for a nice dinner out with great food and wine, in a nice setting, it's definitely the place to go."

Alexandra Nagy

"Avoid at all costs – tourist trap with terrible food and bad service.

We ordered their “famous” soupy rice with lobster and it was hands down the worst thing I’ve eaten in all of Spain. Before ordering, we specifically asked if the lobster could be served deshelled because we didn’t want to deal with the hassle. The server assured us it would be easy. It was NOT. It was frustrating, messy, and nearly impossible to get the meat out. To make things worse, there were small sharp pieces of shell mixed into the rice – nothing like biting down on shards of shell to ruin a meal.

And the rice? It tasted like spoonfuls of pure salt. My tongue was burning from how salty it was. We later learned they usually crack open the lobster shell for you but didn’t this time. When we voiced our concerns, a man (I assume the manager or owner) came over—not to apologize or try to make things right—but to smugly tell us that “everything tastes fine.” This is clearly the kind of place where the customer is never right, no matter how valid the complaint. His condescending tone made the whole experience even worse.

For the outrageous price they charge, this was absolutely not worth it. It’s overpriced, underwhelming, and screams “tourist trap.” We left feeling completely ripped off and insulted. Do yourself a favor and eat anywhere else."

"Great seafood here and also the meats. Very high quality everything and the service was amazing. Even the french fries were so home made. I recommend to order the Octopus as an starter, truly local pleasure. Prices are also good considering the quality of the place. Recommended in A Coruña!"
