I typically avoid Spanish restaurants outside of Spain due to their tendency to be disappointing and expensive. However, I stumbled upon Morriña when I arrived at my hotel late at night for check-in (NH hotel is conveniently just 30 meters away). Intrigued by the inviting atmosphere and friendly patrons dining outside, I decided to give it a try.
A warm and welcoming waiter (Maria?), fluent in both Spanish and English, escorted me to an available table and handed me the menu. I opted for boquerones, olives, croquetas, and patatas bravas, all of which exceeded my expectations compared to the typical tourist traps found in Spanish tourist areas.
The portions were generous, and the flavors reminded me of my grandmother's cooking. I also noticed other diners enjoying pulpo and tortilla, which looked equally delicious.
Morriña boasts an impressive selection of Spanish wines, with a particular emphasis on Galician varieties. However, I indulged in an ice-cold Estrella Galicia, and they even offered 1906 for those who prefer a stronger brew.
Not only is Morriña accommodating (I arrived late at night), but their food is an authentic representation of Spanish cuisine, prepared with care. I look forward to visiting again on my next business trip to Poznan.
Whether you are a connoisseur of Spanish cuisine, or it's your first time trying, you should definitely go as you won't be...
Read moreReturning late from the cinema, we all were looking for a place to have some coffee, and we spotted this brightly lit place, quite welcoming I would say. Right from the very start it seemed our coffee request was not welcome. Anyways to help the business we ordered churros and Galician bread with olive oil to share. I rate 5 out of 10 for the churros and 2 out of 10 for the so called Galician bread. Out of curiosity I asked a young waiter who spoke only English, to please tell us what is so special about this bread. His curt answer was “ it’s from Galicia “ and laughed. I was quite shocked and felt that the wait staff were poorly trained and had no knowledge about the food on the menu. To top it all the so called Galician bread slices were cold and chewy and definitely not fresh. I would have hoped for the bread to be served warm if not toasted, it was very unfortunate. Any case we requested another young waitress to please ask the kitchen for the bread to be warmed up. She obliged, and what she brought back wax still not up to scratch. Worse my Americano was very weak and despite requesting for extra hot it was served lukewarm. However it was good to see other tables enjoying wine, which is what I think they do better. No chance here for vegetarians and teetotallers, so I certainly do not recommend this place if you happen to be a...
