What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners rave about Restaurante O Fado's authentic Galician seafood, particularly the exceptional arroz mariscado and paella, praising the fresh ingredients and rich flavors. The waterfront views and friendly service add to the positive experience. While most reviews are glowing, a few mention the seafood rice can be slightly salty.
"I would give it far more stars if possible, amazing service, delicious food. Will be visiting again! I had the paella and it was absolutely delicious, the rice not too hard no too soft, fresh seafood. Absolutely recommend lunching here!"

"Amazing food, predominantly for those with a love of seafood, however, the steak was also amazing. Can also recommend the home made desserts. The staff was funny and friendly and extremely hospitable. Make sure to ring ahead if you want to order the Arroz Mariscos. Would definitely recommend."
Paul McCann
"We had the seafood rice (arroz mariscado) which was absolutely delicious with so much fresh seafood, perfectly cooked rice and seasoned so well. This had the freshest seafood medley of shrimp, langostine, razor clams, mussels, clams and cuttlefish. An incredible richness and depth of flavour from the stock, seafood, vegetables and caramelized langostine shells.
The Galician empanada reminded me of a chicken pot pie crust but instead had a hearty potato, tuna, pepper and onion filling.
And don't sleep on the dessert. The tatín de manzana (apple tart) is a must order. The soft apples barely hold together, buttery crust and served hot so the whipped cream gives it a nice cold contrast."
