Lunch in La Coruna! This cafe was in the old town was recommended by the receptionist at our hotel and luckily, we happened to be walking by at lunch time. The €9 menu del dia was really fabulous with lots to choose from - eight primero platos and eight segundo platos. Our favourite was the Carrillada Iberica - a delicious rich stew made from pork cheeks!! This place was full of local people and the waitress was really attentive.

Great local, seasonal food at fantastic prices. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The menu changes daily and is hand written to keep it changeable depending on the ingredients they get each day. We enjoyed dinner so much we booked for lunch the following day.

A small cozy kafe-restaurant with nice and very friendly waiters. The "Raxo con pimientos" and "Solouilos we Cerdo Iberico a la Plancha" were big and testy dishes.
