LA TABLITA del LO — Restaurant in O Pino

The night was cold when I entered La Tablita. But my heart was quickly warmed by Martai’s greeting, as she passionately expounded her dinner menu to me. I felt her extra passion when she talked about her salads, so I ordered two salads. The first was tomatoes salad, where I had my maiden taste of the amazing Spanish blue tomatoes, served with super fresh oil of picual (Spanish olive oil). I was totally blown away. The second dish was the lamb’s lettuce salad. It was paired with creamy goat cheese and perfectly flavoured with pineapple dices that really lifted my taste buds as well as my spirit. Best Spanish salads every Camino de Santiago...

We've been having pilgrims meals almost everyday and my sis found us something different to enjoy before our descend into Santiago. Martaí - matre'd, manager was an exemplary service staff who helped us along our gastronomic adventure. Drinks- tinto de verano was so good! Vino gordello paired well with the pork shoulder with turnip greens. The two salads on the menu was delish, my sis wanted to lick the plates. The pulpo served here was different from what you may get elsewhere, lightly charred, sitting on a bed of mash. It was the best meal we've had thus far. If I had a tail, it'd be wagging furiously. Kudos...

We were so tired from our pilgrimage that we decided to eat at the place where we stayed. We were so surprised at the quality of food and homey taste of everything. We had a cheese board with local cheeses that were so flavorful and delicious. The tomato salad was amazing. The flavors of the tomatoes were as if they had come from the garden that morning, especially the blue tomatoes. My husband had the salmon and I had the zucchini spaghetti, both were delicious. We were so happy with our food...
