Caminito Pendiente

In Caminito Pendiente, you can take a beer or wine with friends and you can eat delicious tapas.

It’s in Vigo, in Manuel Núñez Street which is near Principe Street, the main pedestrian street in town.  So after dinner I can go with my friends to a disco because it’s situated near the party (clubbing) area.

If you go with a friends or your partner to have dinner you can order a lot of delicius tapas. These tapas could be squid, Spanish omelette, croquettes, or small pasties filled with tuna or cod or meat, etc.

It´s not expensive because the tapas are big and the quality is good. It costs around €10.

Although if you don't feel like eating a lot, you can take a beer or wine and they give you these with a tapa for free.

You can also have breakfast before coming to class. I think it’s cheap and the homemade cake is very good. They serve a good breakfast.

The atmosphere is cosy and I especially like the decoration because it’s very colourful. One thing that caught my attention is that the tables are made with colorful doors and inside there is a lamppost.

The waiter/waitress service is nice and the waiters are young and friendly.

If you want to taste real Spanish tapas you only have to go to Caminito Pendiente.

O Refuxio D´Antón

An excellent choice to eat in Baiona before or after visiting this beautiful town is O Refuxio D´Antón which is in the old town, in Ventura Misa Street, called the Wine's Street too.

O Refuxio D´Antón is a traditional tavern with a long history. This has been a family business for over 70 years. In the beginning, it was a tavern where the sailors enjoyed some time together after work taking a wine or a spirits. The place was reformed a few years ago, but the decoration is very traditional. The tables and chairs are made of wood and there are some wine barrels as tables that recall the place where sailors came together.

O Refuxio D´Anton is a very crowded place and you can´t make a reservation so I recommend you go early to not have to wait a lot but I´m sure that your wait will be worth it.

The menu is small based on local typical tapas. You can eat delicious squid, Padron Peppers, octopus, ham croquettes, “zorza” (meat with herbs typical in Galicia) and omelette, the best dish on the menu! Sometimes you can eat fresh fish too.

 

You can´t order desserts and coffee, and this is the reason because the service is very fast.

The prices are really low. You'll pay around 10 Euros and you'll eat a lot!

Yantar:

Yantar

Fourteen kilometers from the University of Vigo in Gondomar is the restaurant Cervecería bocatería Yantar. The communication with this town by bus is very complicated because you have to travel using different buses (there is no direct bus). The best option is by car. You take the road PO-331 to 7 Pereiras Street, Gondomar.

The establishement is decorated with wood and stone so the atmotsphera is nice. One the most important things is they are always clean. The waiters are friendly and normally take the order and serve very fast.

In my opinion, the snacks (tapas) are the best option for eating because they´re bigger than the others and have the perfect bread. My favourite snack is roast pork (jamón asado) for €3.20 and my wife likes the squid snack for €3. You have other food, hamburgers, sandwiches, hotdogs, tapas, mixed dishes and pizza.

I recommend it because they use good quality ingredients in their products and they also have a good service and I think that it is the cheapest restaurant in Gondomar. A coffee costs €0.90, hamburger with cheese €2.80, a sandwich with cooked ham, cheese, tomato, lettuce and onion €2.90 etc.

A REGUEIFA GALICIAN TAVERN

A good restaurant for dinner in Vigo is A Regueifa. It's located in San Vicente street and it's five minutes from Puerta del Sol.

A Regueifa is one of my favourite restaurants because on Thursday you can listen to live music, while you're having dinner, and sometimes there is a group of Galician music.

This establishment is quite small, so reservations are recommended on weekends and holidays.

As you come into the restaurant, you see the tables and a bar where you can have some tapas. A Regueifa was the winner of "XIII Tapas Competition in Vigo" with its tapa "Fine pasta sack with ham and turnip greens, served in cocktail glass".

You can eat many local tapas like "Roast ham with potatoes" or "Spicy potatoes with garlic mayonnaise". I recommend it because of the high quality of their products.

CAFETERÍA ESQUINA

This bar is close to Praza América, in Avenida de Castrelos. It's only 200 metres on foot from Praza América. It's in front of the Travesas Pavilion sports centre.

It's a good place to go if you want to drink and eat spending a little amount of money.

With your drink, they always give you something to eat. It depends on the type of drink, if you have a coffee or something similar they give you a piece of cake or something sweet. Whereas if you drink a beer or refreshment, they'll give you some tapas.

You can eat from the set lunch menu during the week. The price is under €10 and includes a starter, main course, bread, drinks and coffee. If you prefer, you can eat a salad, sandwich or hamburguer.

While you are waiting for your meal, they give you a tapa.

It is not like a restaurant but the food is really good.

The service is good and the waiters are friendly.

You can eat at any time of day because it is open 24 hours a day.

BAR BRASIL

BAR BRASIL

UPDATE: Bar Brasil is alas no more :( 

                  It will be remembered by many.

Bar Brasil is a typical Galician bar; it's not too modern and the interior isn't very beautiful but for me it is like being at home. When I go there I always felt like as if I am in my grandmother´s home. This bar is situated in Calle Brasil about 12 minutes from Gran Vía (Vigo).

If you go to take a beer or a cola they give you these with one “tapa” for free but for me this bar is perfect to have a dinner with your friends.

If you go with your friends to take a dinner you can order a lot of delicious tapas. These tapas can be: tortilla (omelette), mejillones (mussels), zorza (meat marinated in spices), chipirones (European squid), calamares… everything that you order there is fresh and delicious. During the dinner you can drink very good wine and after the dinner the waiters are going to give you liquor coffee free of charge, which is a typical liquor from Galicia. And the service is perfect; it is for this that I say that I feel like I'm at home, because the waiters are very pleasant and friendly.

You have to know that this bar not is a luxury bar, because it is small and not very beautiful but I think that this not is the most important for dinner. Because the dishes are very tasty and the price is really reasonable. I never pay there more than ten Euros and I always eat a lot.

You can´t be in Vigo for a year and not know where Bar Brasil is!
