Ambiance was nice, outdoors seating, the restaurant is located in a street full of restaurants with outdoor seating, very enjoyable! Also, the local wine (Alvariño) was delicious.

For under three euro, you can eat enough food to tide you over for breakfast, lunch, and possibly dinner. Although there is an a la carte menu, most patrons seem to order from one of the five combination specials available. The deal is alluring and the kitchen is constantly whipping up tortillas, making the restaurant smell divine. But after a bite of this tortilla, I was disappointed to find the inside fairly liquidy (gross?) and plop! - the entire slice collapsed on the plate. The empanadilla did not fare much better. Both the crust and the filling were very dry. The dryness translated to a lack of flavor for both the meat filling and the pastry shell. The meal was not a complete bust - I enjoyed my coffee and was able to read Faro de Vigo in a relaxing environment.

I completely disagree with the previous review...THIS PLACE IS GREAT. The tortilla is "blanda"…read more(soft), so if that's not your thing, don't order it. HOWEVER...the calamari, zorza (marinated pork) and empanadillas are to die for. The best part - the price. You can easily have dinner for 7-8 euros, including a couple beers. Un local super conocido en Vigo por sus empanadillas. Tapas de todo tipo, (la mejor zorza que probe en la vida) canas, etc....precio baratismo...no te lo pierdas!

After a night of revelry in Vigo, I needed to look like I got more than 3 hours of sleep before…read moreheading back to the house of my family. [1] Thank goodness Beny Lavandeira is within walking distance to many of the bars AND one of the central bus stops in Vigo because it made getting caffeinated a relatively easy task. There are only four tables in this bakery (it is more of a place where people stop by to buy their bread and cakes, rather than drink coffee and stay a while), but there was no shortage of people hanging out, reading the paper, and sipping coffee. I was fortunate enough to snag a table and ordered a café solo. As I skimmed the front page of Faro de Vigo, the employee asked me if all I wanted was a café solo. To my left, a couple was enjoying a croissant with their coffee. To my right, grandparents with their grandchild were dipping very typical Galician cookies in a café con leche. And in front of me, in the baked goods case, a very fresh-looking bizcocho [2] caught my eye. "Alright," I said. "A small slice of the bizcocho, please." "Small" must be a relative concept because two bites later, I was not only extremely full but it looked as though I had hardly eaten this spongy, moist cake. The employee noticed that I had surrendered and wrapped the rest of the cake for me to take home. For two euros, I had a great cup of coffee and a larger slice of bizcocho than I anticipated. The next time there's a foam party in Vigo, you'll know where to find me between the hours of 10 and 11am... [1] After-parties generally begin around 5 or 6am in Vigo and can go until 1pm or so. [2] A simple sponge cake. It's amazing how a few basic ingredients, when combined, can taste so good!
