A recent visit to this restaurant left us with mixed feelings. The establishment offers a good variety of dishes, and we decided to try two: the pulpo a feira and the Arroz a banda "Luras e Langostinos." The pulpo a feira was decent, although the consistency of the octopus pieces varied, with some needing more cooking time. This could be a personal preference, but it did affect the overall experience. The main issue arose with the Arroz a banda "Luras e Langostinos." Despite the name, the dish contained no langostinos. When we brought this to the staff's attention, the chef's response was unexpectedly dismissive. He mentioned that we should be grateful for being served at 4 PM and did not address our concern about the missing langostinos. It turned out they had run out of langostinos and substituted extra shrimp without informing us. We suggested that informing customers beforehand would have allowed us to choose another dish. The chef advised that we should instruct the server not to make substitutions next time, which we found to be an unhelpful response. Although the chef instructed the server to cancel the dish from our bill, the cashier refused to do so. We paid and left, feeling disappointed. In summary, while the menu offers variety, the inconsistent food quality and lack of communication from the staff left much to be desired.

A food market in Santiago with many different food and drink stores. Select any type you want and sit at large communal tables to enjoy. There are cheese, ham and wine, japanese, italian, gallego, hamburgers, octopus (pulpo gallego) potatoes in all forms, rice and seafood and vegetarian and vegan stores. There is also coffee, pastries, crapes and icecream. Now, of course there is a great local and international beer selection - 28 different brands to choose from. And if you like good wine and would like to try different wines from different areas of Spain, here is where this experience awaits you! In upstairs balcony you will find cocktails - sit down at a small table and look down at the crowds below sipping on your cocktail.

"Delicious patatas gajo - potato wedges, so crunchy! Menu is slightly odd in that there are no descriptions of the food - just the name of it. Lots of different styles of food, all served in the same seating area, great way of tasting lots of different cuisines." I went here the first night I was here, and loved the food, went somewhere else, had a disappointing experience, so came back here for the third night. It was terrible. The wait staff were very unattentive - the first night we put that down to us being foreign, and not knowing what was going on, but this time we knew how it worked, and they were still uninterested and slow. The food was awful. I ordered the prawns "gambas ao allo" and they turned up in a metal tin, stinking of fish, and tasting rubbery. The "sauce" was the water they were boiled in, and there were about four shreds of garlic in there. All for €13,90 My partner ordered the Poke Atun, and it was like someone had explained the concept of Poke, but not well. So he had rice, flavourless lumps of tuna, and some cucumber slices, tomato, and grated carrot. TLDR; Order the patatas gajo, and leave.

Careful, this is a tourist trap, well kinda and kinda not. Let me explain: If you are here to drink craft beers which are fairly priced and want to eat some fries, then this place should get 4 out of 5 stars. The potata gajos are great and the beers too. But! the staff doesn't speak English and therefore also can't tell you about the beers you are trying to order. Also, they can't explain the menu or concept to you, plus there is only one hard copy of a menu. You feel like they want to get rid of non spanish speaking people and non Spanish tables are not serviced much. This is supposed to be a hip place but they are missing that hip places are designed for an international audience. And it's definitely aimed at an international audience as the food is way below average compared to the usually found excellent quality of restaurants and food in Santiago. The prices are international and far overpriced compared to other restaurants. The portion size is small and the taste is boring and even looks boring. Except the fries, which are great!

The place was great! We visited on a weekday at noon. It is recommended for business lunch and for families as well. The food was good and tasty. The service was also good. One would expect, though, for the staff to speak not only their native language but also perhaps something international like English for instance, especially for a tourist destination such as Santiago de Compostela. Nonetheless, we could communicate through the language barrier. For this, the various photos of the dishes served there, also helped, so a big thank you to all the people tha took them and share them online via the Google maps! We definitely recommend this place for eating.

NO pidas media tabla de quesos, porque es un chiste, una auténtica estafa y se te queda cara de tonto (adjunto foto en la que, además, el tenedor es de los pequeños)...y no es porque cueste 9,90€ (que tampoco te saca de pobre) es porque no te da ni para probar el queso. Los chicos que atienden se les ve muy currantes, pero al llegar a nosotros nos recibió el que se supone que es uno de los dueños, nos dijo que si hemos estado alguna vez. Al decirle que no, nos dice que le sigamos y que nos explica. Nos llevó a un banco y allí nos ubicó, sin más (vamos, que no nos explicó nada). Pedimos bebida y tres cosas diferentes de comida para probar de varios puestos, pero la media tabla de quesos...ya lo he comentado, una estafa. Cuando el "dueño" se acercó y nos preguntó que qué tal todo, fui honesto y le dije que la media tabla de quesos no estaba muy allá y que no llegaba ni a tapa en un bar y, creyendo él que eso era una tabla (curioso que el dueño no sepa distinguir entre media tabla y tabla entera) reconoció que era una miseria y alegó que es que había mucha rotación de personal y que no me preocupara que me cobrarían la mitad. Al rato volvió y me dijo que me había entendido mal y que creyó que le había dicho la tabla de quesos y no la media (ein?), que era lo que ponían y que aún así me cobrarían la mitad. A mí el dinero me da igual, pero es sentido común ver que eso que nos pusieron era una estafa. Evidentemente, cuando nos fuimos, nos cobraron todo y este "jefazo" ya no estaba, fuimos un número más de clientes que pasan por ahí. Poca culpa tienen los chavales que allí trabajan, en su mayoría seguro que estudiantes, que siempre tienen una sonrisa al atenderte. Santiago está lleno de bares y restaurantes por lo que tampoco es que me parezca una visita obligada este Mercado ni mucho menos que, además , es más caro en general que cualquier bar del centro.
