Los Caracoles Restaurante — Restaurant in Santiago de Compostela

Went for lunch for a birthday celebration with my parents and wife.

We enjoyed every moment of the experience - good food, fair prices, kind service, and great deserts as well.

One of our best dining experiences on the Camino over 6 weeks. For 3 courses a la carte, our food bill was €30 each. Drinks on top. Apart from the dishes in the pictures, we tried Galician (Beef) Pie, egg flan and cheesecake. Our wine was Pedralonga (Tempranillo grape) at €20 per bottle. Also, I enjoyed a glass of their excellent tap 1906 beer. Two well-made coffees (Espresso and Americano) to...
