Kamelia Taberna — Restaurant in Pontevedra

This was recommended by a friend. We went first for dinner and we had Vieiras, salad and pork loin with chips, beyond delicious. The atmosphere was relaxed, staff was friendly with special mention to Carlos, who very kindly explained the menu and took the time to recommend what we ordered and the best wine to go with. A couple of days later, with a sunnier day, we were walking by and decided to stop for some tapas in the terrace. We had pulpo, pimientos de padrón and bravas. We love Galicia and the quality of ingredients they have. However, we had a few bad experiences but thanks to Kamelia's Taberna, our trust has been restored and they even had merch so yes, did it! Their tote bag is walking the London streets now. We will be recommending this place to all our friends visiting Pontevedra!

P.s. the pic only shows a small part of the terrace...

The Place is a bit chaotic and noisy in the inside. The lady was very caring and helpful.

We ordered 1 portion of octopus and 1 costillitas. The octopus was not good and the lady exchanged it for some fried squid that sadly was better but still mediocre. The ribs (costillitas) were flavourless and a bit dry. Same with the wine, no flavour whatsoever. Prices not in line with the quality, ribs were 15.50 and the squid 11. For normal portion and below average quality it's a bit too much. They were kind enough to not charge us with the pulp so the service is on point, very friendly. But unfortunately not a really good experience.

I think it's more of a tourist trap but for Spanish cause everyone...

Hands down my best meal I’ve had in Spain. Fantastic tapas at a very fair price. Often times good food would mean a compromise in terms of comfort but no, their location is on the square and you truly get a lovely Spanish outdoor dining experience. All the dishes were outstanding, but the croquettes were an absolute gem and highlight, and so was the cheese flan dessert that paired superbly with the coffee liqueur which the staff were so kind to give on the house.

Thank you very much to the super friendly and hospitable staff, especially Nash and Michaelo. They are patient and know their dishes well to give solid recommendations based on your questions, and also spoke...
