"Fuimos con el recuerdo de El Coral antes del cambio, y nos marchamos muy contentos. La camarera que nos atendió fue muy agradable y estuvo atenta a detalles como cambiarnos el plato y la servilleta tras tomar los chocos. Antes los chocos eran en salsa de tomate y ahora en su tinta. Pero siguen estando buenísimos. El secreto a la plancha también estaba bueno. Para los postres nos decantamos por una torrija y una tarta la viña. Todo fenomenal. Repetiremos."

"I had the 'Choco' (squid) from lunch menu. Really great flavour and service. Is tucked down a side street but still outdoor seating that you can look towards the harbour."

"Es complicado poner 5 estrellas en un establecimiento, pero sinceramente creo que las merece. Fuimos sin reserva pero con un pequeño ajuste nos pidieron acoplar, ayudó el que fuéramos solo dos y que era temprano, pero al menos nos pudieron dar mesa. Gran amabilidad y comida exquisita, a destacar el pulpo a feira. Volveremos en cuanto estemos en Ferrol de nuevo."

"Lloc net i molt petit, estem parlant de 4 o 5 taules. Té l'encant de la tasca típica dels ports antics,  però en net. És acollidor. La carta no és extensa, quatre coses i ja està. Per mi això et dona seguretat que el que et mengis, estarà bo. He fet mitja ració de Volandeiras a la Planxa i de segon, Rap amb salsa. Les Volandeiras, molt bones. El rap, amb una mica més de salsa i una mica menys de pèsols, m'hagués agradat més. Però en conjunt, molt bé, igual que la relació qualitat /quantitat / preu. Llàstima que no li funcionés la màquina del cafè. Atenció ràpida i correcta, aconsellaria que com és petit del lloc, fer reserva abans d'anar. Persones que necessiten cadira de rodes, abstenir-se perquè al menjador no hi cap. Està a pocs metres del port on hi ha algunes places d'aparcament."

"Local cuisine not to miss. Pablo (octopus) - Euro 17 Squid - Euro 18 White wine - Euro 3.5 The Pablo and squid is fresh, and perfectly cook in such a way that’s it’s not over cooked. Pablo coupled with olive oil, and squid with fries below make a perfect combo. Price wise is bit on the high side thou."
