Etel&pan is a delightful little locally sourced restaurant that lives up to it’s tagline, “honest and slow food,” in the best way possible. Not only was everything that we tried delicious, the staff were very kind and the atmosphere was pleasant. Having tried patatas bravas more times than I can count while traveling in Spain, I can say without reservation, these were the best of the best. The dish consisted of freshly fried potatoes with a house-made black garlic alioli sauce and the traditional red pepper bravas sauce. Truly delightful. Per staff recommendation I tried the caneliñas burger, made from Galician caught mackerel and served on an artisan sourdough bun with caramelized onions and the aforementioned and truly inspired black garlic aioli.

Read moreFOOD: Perfect place for lunch or dinner ! Delicious traditional food made with love paying attention to the details. With only organic ingredients, you can feel the quality from the first bite. With vegetarian options! The portions are big so we couldn't finish everything and they served nicely for take away including forks :).
PLACE: The atmosphere is as good as the food, you feel relaxed as soon as you step in. Perfect light and nice books in the shelves about the food, history and people of the area

Definetely one of the best places we have been around this area, highly...
Read moreWe were very fortunate to come across this delightful little place. We had lunch on the first occasion and eve meal on second. Mainly burger with good quality ingredients. I had a mackerel burger (wonderful!), my husband had a beef burger (wonderful). Both also had fabulous local bread and the large salad we shared was outstanding too. It was packed with fresh ingredients- all the ones I love - avocado, the sweetest fresh tomatoes, walnuts, seeds lettuce and local crumbly cheese , bit like feta but nicer. So good we went there the following evening after we’d watched the sunset up at Fisterre lighthouse. The staff were lovely (husband works evenings and wife during day as have two young children). Such a lovely place with fresh, local ingredients. Wine and beer good too. We highly recommend Etel & Pan. I’m sure you won’t...
