O Filandón

Fodor's Choice

Venture forth through the narrow cheese shop and you’ll discover a cozy bar in the back, where an inviting log fire burns on chilly evenings and pilgrims gather and swap stories and pin handwritten notes to the walls (there are literally thousands). The pinchos (snacks) that come with drinks are more than generous: hunks of freshly baked bread with assorted charcuterie and cheeses.

Cañadío

An after-work favorite, Cañadío draws a lively evening crowd for tempting tapas and sumptuous entrées. Think high-level takes on classic flavors like tempura-fried hake with aioli, pork tenderloin topped with foie, or a near-perfect steak tartare. Don't miss the icy beer on tap and their excellent desserts, all made in-house.

Casa das Crechas

Drink to Galicia's Celtic roots here, with live music and Celtic wood carvings hanging from thick stone walls, while dolls of playful Galician witches ride their brooms above the bar.
