Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Great food! Cuttlefish and Octopus is delicious! They invited us to shots! Great place!"
"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."
"Best Octopus so far in Galicia... Enough and really not pricy"
"Hemos venido días flojos, días de llenazo y días normales, siempre es perfecto. Un triunfo. Cocina sin pretensiones, buen producto y buen trato, el saber hacer habla por sí solo. Nada más que pedir, espectacular"
