“ So glad I came! Extremely polite service. And the food is soooo good. Such a nice and relaxing atmosphere. ”
“ Great hidden gem! Quality meer and delicious salad. Very nice service! I'm glad I found it! ”
“ Good menu, excellent service, the price is 19.50 € for the menu without drinks and dessert but the quality and location is worth. They are quick and excellent quality. ”
“ While on the Camino starting in Ponferrada, this was by far the best tasting and most thoughtful menu I had experienced. Do not be swayed by previous low ratings of this restaurant as they are under new management. Their food was wonderful and was a nice change of pace from the traditional "pilgim" menu you find along the Camino. Sandra was so lovely and welcoming. The new owners are very passionate about the quality of food and customer service. I recommend this hidden gem to any pilgrim. ”
“ This is the best restaurant in O Pedrouzo. It’s a shame that the new owners have to keep the previous owner’s ratings because this place is PHENOMENAL. My husband and I are on day 9/10 on our Camino. This meal felt like a delight after days of the typical Camino food. Prices are a little higher than the other restaurants in town but the quality of the food is worth it. Customer service was excellent. If you’re lucky, you’ll get to meet Sandra, one of the new owners. If I could, I would come back here! It truly is a hidden gem in the middle of a quiet residential area. Croquettas, steak, pork, and cheesecake were heavenly! ”
“ This place is a total gem! We had one of our best meals on the Camino. Tucked away in a quiet spot away from the crowds, it was a little haven. A lovely atmosphere, we had a warm welcome from the friendly host, and the food was delicious. The cheesecake is one of the best I’ve ever had! Lovely local wines too. ”
