The first dish in the list is with pulpo a feira .octopus- (which is a typical dish nearly everywhere in Galicia -probably above all in Lugo). The second dish is empanada (the filling can consist of scallops, tuna, cod, chorizo, or tuna, to name but a few). The third dish is Padron peppers (from the village of Padron in Galicia). We will end our shortlist with the famous Santiago cake.

Style of this restaurant

Tapas: What started as a solution to keep flies out of drinks (namely wine) has become a type of food and a fantastic informal way to sample high-quality ingredients and dishes, eat adventurously and in an affordable way. Some important things to bear in mind: do not get intimidated by a crowd at the bar. On the contrary, when you search for tapas bars or restaurants the first thing you do is to look for people: high turn-over implies you will not get dried-out food. Some bars offer raciones (dinner plate-sized) but also medi raciones smaller tapas (saucer-sized). The good thing about the small versions is you can try more things. Prices may vary if you stand or enjoy a table. This specially applies to the terraces. Tapas are also referred to as pintxos (in the Spanish Basque country) or pinchos.

Q How much shoudl I tip at this restaurant?

There is no precise rule as to how much to tip in Spain. Spaniards only tip if they consider the service to be good. A 5% is normally considered a good tip. Having said this, some local waiters know tourists tip more than local Spaniards do and may expect more from foreigners.
