The meal ended with a delectable almond cake. Bottom line: I have no clue in pricing but the food was done well and served with grace.

What a wonderful dinner. Had dinner here courtesy of Tauck tours.

Based on the menu description, we expected some creamy white rice and chunks of lobster. But, NO! We got a small paella pan of marvelous red rice very similar to a paella, but stickier and with more tomato flavor. Each of us also got (embedded in the rice) half a lobster. OMG! A dinner to die for. This would have been a 5-star rating save for the incredibly loud atmosphere and the signature dessert of chocolate covered chestnuts which were delicious, but mealy. Still, I highly recommend Enxebre, especially if you are staying at the parador.

The restaurant opens at 7:00 p.m. for dinner, earlier than the customary 8:00 p.m. Spanish dinner hour. Complimentary appetizers of potato chips (crisps) and olives were served, an excellent touch! I ordered a Pizza Arrabbiata, which was a pepperoni pizza. It was 34 cm, just a bit larger than an American 12 inch pizza, but similarly designed as an individual serving for dinner. The pizza was excellent, cooked in the Neapolitan style. A little spicier than similar American pizzas. My wife ordered Ravioli ai Quattro Formaggi (four cheese ravioli) and enjoyed it. Very reasonably priced. Located in the historic district and recommended for lunch or dinner.

We are from California and with some patience from our waiter we ordered peppers, paella and steak. Coke zero and a bottle of Albariño completed our order. Although it took a little while we were served some bread and soon after that our peppers. Big fan of the roasted peppers. Slight bell pepper flavor but not hot. The steak came still sizzling and perfectly cooked medium rare. Lean and very flavorful. As good as every thing was, the highlight for me was the paella. Beautiful. Langostinos sitting on top of a large bowl of rice with chorizo fish chunks peppers onions and probably some other things I missed. Absolutely the best paella I've had. I highly recommend this restaurant.

On the corner in middle of the old town of Cambados is El Rincon do Tio Paco (the corner of uncle…read morePaco). On a sunny day you can sit on the terrace and even have a view over the Ria de Arousa. The menu mainly consists of fresh fish, paella or rice dishes. There are also some tapas and meat dishes. We chose paella, with sea fruit and meat. There were also variations with veggies or lobster. The paella is served like it should be: in a pan coming straight from the stove. It is dished up on a side table and served out by the waiter. Quite a service! The taste was ok, not the best one I have ever tasted. And to my surprise the chicken I was thinking I was eating, was rabbit!!!! Not my taste. There are some homemade desserts (like cheesecake or flan) and Italian ice team. The nicest thing about this place was the fact that both the waiter as well as Paco himself (the owner) were super friendly to our little 2 year old boy running around. They even indicated we did not have to get up from our table when he ran of towards the road in front of it. We actually could relatively peacefully eat our meal.

It's located in the main eating-out area of Coruña so there is always the hustle and bustle of good atmosphere. It is very cheap, all tapas are 1€. I especially recommend the croqueta de jamon (ham croquette) which is massive and filled with visible chunks of ham (unlike most croquettes). Come here before lunch as an aperitivo or at night for a few tapas. Be warned though, it is always busy and you will most likely have to eat standing which is why I prefer to come here for a few and then move on to the next place.

The owner, Liliana, made us feel welcome, and was so attentive to the fact we were in a bit of a hurry. If you haven't had octopus, this is the place to try it. It was so tender it melted in your mouth. The croquettes, shrimp sticks, calamari, and Pimientos de Padre (fried and sea salt green peppers) were heaven, and the Sangria was the best I ever had. All of this left 6 of us so full we could barely walk afterwards. At 25.00 euros each you simply can't pass it up! We loved you and your place Liliana, and cannot wait to come back ... Gracias!

It's also easy to get to - just a couple of short blocks from the main square (the one with the Obelisk). I have never had Octopus so tender and flavorful. The generous portion comes with potatoes, crusty bread and a starter for 20 Euros. Also enjoyed a couple of glasses of Estrella beer - so refreshing. Also recommend the Scallops and the Prawns. The staff is welcoming and attentive. If you have never tried Octopus, get out of you safety zone and give it a go - I'm betting you will be glad you did.

After spending four hours touring A Coruña and soaking in all its historical charm, we found…read moreourselves absolutely starving at 12:00 PM. The tour had mentioned that octopus is one of the most beloved dishes in A Coruña, so I knew I had to try it. But where? I turned to Yelp and searched for the best octopus nearby. My answer appeared almost immediately, A Taberna de Cunqueiro, just a five-minute walk through the enchanting old town, boasting nearly a 5-star rating with 37 reviews. When we arrived, the place was packed, buzzing with locals and tourists alike. Just as I was scanning the room, probably looking a bit lost, a friendly waitress caught my eye. With a big smile and a cheerful "hola," she seated us right away. She went above and beyond, recommending the best tapas selections to start, and before we even had a chance to order, she brought over a warm bowl of potaje and jamón ham con pan--such a thoughtful touch! We ordered two refreshing local draft beers, Estrella de Galicia, and dug into the delicious appetizers. The casa croquettes, Iberian ham, small scallops, and of course, the Galician octopus, were all simply amazing. Each bite was a true taste of Galicia's culinary brilliance. After a second round of beers, we were so stuffed that we had to call it a day just as they were preparing to close at 2:00 PM for their lunch break. This spot has an amazing vibe and you can tell it's one of the locals favorite as it reas full of young people adding to the energy. This place quickly became one of my favorite while in A Coruña and merits multiple visits. Did I also mention that owner was in the kitchen making sure this packed place functioned like a well oiled machine. The vibe is so authentic, the staff are incredibly friendly, and the food? Unforgettable. I couldn't even imagine giving anything short of 5 star review definitely be back next time I'm in town!
