With tables out on the lovely little plaza and in the upstairs dining room, this is a fine spot for excellent Galician specialities with a creative touch, such as prawn-and-vegetable tempura or spider-crab croquettes. Local pork and fish, tempting desserts, and good Galician wines too. Portions are medium-sized.
