Bar O Comercio — Restaurant in Meis

Terrible place that is hostile to pilgrims. I ordered the “pilgrim’s plate” and was charged extra for bread and drinks. Fine, I didn’t ask. I came back with friends for dinner and specifically said I did not want bread or drinks. They brought it anyway, we did not touch it, they still charged us and argued with me that it was required when you sit down.

Moreover, my vegetarian friend ordered French fries and fried peppers, the easiest order to make. It took 2 hours for her order to arrive, after we had all ordered and eaten. They offered no apology or concessions.

And finally they refused to split our checks and never acknowledged us throughout our whole time there. Just terrible service all around, which I’ve come to expect from Spain but this was...

Even the wine expertly complemented the entire meal. While the Galician soup fell a tad short on flavor, the service was impeccable, making the entire experience top-notch. Bar O Comercio isn't just the only option in Altameira at night, it's the clear winner. I highly...
