What to expect
You'll arrive at a genuine neighbourhood bar where the focus is on eating and drinking as locals do. The five tapas arrive in sequence, each plate designed to showcase a different angle of Galician cooking—from preserved meats to fresh peppers to sweet pastry. You're expected to linger between courses and chat with whoever's pouring; this isn't a rushed tasting. Your two drink choices anchor the experience; regulars often switch between wine and beer across the plates. Two hours gives you time to eat properly and absorb the rhythm of the place without feeling hurried.
Good to know
Public transport stops nearby if you need it. Gratuity isn't included, though locals typically leave loose change. The bar operates on its own schedule, so arrive on time. These tapas portions are designed for tasting rather than filling; plan another meal if you're very hungry.
