Reviews Summary
Diners rave about the authentic and delicious tapas at Tapas Petiscos Do Cardeal, highlighting the fresh seafood, friendly service, and lively atmosphere. While many find the food exceptional and the staff attentive, some note the bustling environment can be expected due to its popularity.
"This restaurant was the best we tried in Santiago de Compostela.
Atmosphere was lively and polite from an international crowd. Staff is welcoming and friendly, very quick and reactive service, you get food very quickly, the kitchen staff is above average for both speed and quality of food.
Most dishes are very straight forward, quickly cooked and served. Boquerones were a standout dish, but we also really liked the shrimps (good size), scallops and razor clams. The black pudding should also be ordered, expertly served with caramelized onions, everything was delicious.
Prices are reasonable for this type of food quality, good selection of wines also.
Highly recommended, one of our favorite meals of 2024.
P.S.: please leave a ❤️ if this review was helpful in making decisions, thank you 🙏"
