"Writing a review so I can remember this place. It’s phenomenal! The service is incredible the food is perfect! The meat is top notch, highly recommend the sirloin steak."

"Decent spot in Vigo. It’s located in the city downtown but certainly not a big avenue or nice and big boulevard. Doesn’t matter, food is good and the atmosphere inside is quite nice.
Food was pretty well prepared though nothing outstanding. Just right. Had the tuna, not too bad, prawns and the chocolate dessert, pretty good.
Service wasn’t particularly good as we had reserved through the fork and marked “outside table” and then they told us no outside table was available. Luckily 2 costumers went and they quickly prepared a table for us, but it would have been quite disappointing not to have what you booked.
Anyway, it’s not probably a place I’ll go back but I’d certainly recommend it."

The Best Fish and Seafood in Vigo
Yet it is well worth sitting down to a meal at Detapaencepa, either on the ground floor on high stools, or on the quieter first floor with low tables. It’s not hard to find something you like here, as they have acres of menu on which tapas are king. Dishes that come highly recommended include octopus with cachelo (potato) foam – lighter than the traditional a feira variety, as the potato has been creamed – smoked sardine and ratatouille pastry, a foie gras and apple mini-sandwich and steamed clams with olive oil.
