"The food was really great and cheap (compared to the places in Barcelona).
Of the photos I put in, I only would not recommend the octopus - it was not bad but I had higher expectations from it."

Semih Gönen

"We were lucky to get a table. Everything was great. For us, a perfect light lunch."

Jeff Rhino Bannister

"Went here with my friends to celebrate us passing Spanish B2 level exam😆 and glad we chose this place. Everything we ordered was delicious, even the desserts. The food came rather fast, although the person attending us wasn’t the friendliest, but it didn’t ruin our time. Overall a good place to enjoy dinner."

The Best Fish and Seafood in Vigo

The casual interior design in this restaurant (the bicycle presiding over the premises from above, the vintage racquets hanging on the wall) becomes passion and reliability in the kitchen and dining-room, ever efficient and impeccable. Hence, it is always full to bursting. And, not because customers enjoy seeing the twins, Carlos and Pablo, in action, but because their offerings are superb – their superlative marinated salmon nuggets, delicate sea bass carpaccio, Cambados scallop with griddled cardinal prawns, suckling lamb simmered for 10 hours… Top-notch products processed with modern techniques which Carlos learned while seconded to El Celler de Can Roca.
