Cafeteria O Mesón — Restaurant in Pontevedra

If you’re expecting anything but pure carbs, go somewhere else.

Walking the Camino and staying in the Albergue associated with the cafeteria so came here and got the daily priced “Build your plate” designed for pilgrims. Got Spaghetti Bolongese, absolutely 0 meat in my sauce… potentially 20g of beef TOPS. Pepper Sauce Chicken was not better… less than half a chicken breast and a mountain of French fries. They brought tons of bread to top it all off.

Low prices here but their margins must still be insane because they just shove out cheap garbage...

I'm genuinely confused about all the 5 star reviews here. The only positive is the price: it certainly is cheap, but you also pay for what you get in terms of quality. I ordered the oven baked ham, it was oily and tasteless. The waitresses are lovely, which is why I've given 3 stars, but the owner was awful and rude to customers. The restaurant isn't open until 7:30pm and they won't even do fried food or bags of crisps before then. Don't even ask, or you'll...

We didn't have a chance to try the food, the waitress was so rude, we had to leave. We are a group of three and all agreed, we've visited quite a few cafés on our trip and the all of the people have all been very kind and helpful, very odd.

There's a little grocery store next door, they'll make you a sandwich and very kind and helpful...
