Happened upon Casa Amura looking for a place to have seafood on our last night in Vigo. Did not disappoint!
The grilled scallops were perfectly cooked with char on top. The pulpo (octopus) with potatoes sautéed in olive oil with garlic and onions were also cooked to perfection and better than any other pulpo we ate here. The spinach with cheese, well, you just need to try it. Better than the beer gourmet creamed spinach.
For dessert we ordered the cheesecake and the crème brûlée/flan. The cheesecake was deliciously dense with a thin crust that complimented it. The brûlée/flan was topped with a soft cookie that went well with its creaminess.
Our server was attentive and made great suggestions.
May not be inexpensive but it...
Read moreWe came to this restaurant and although we both speak Spanish, the waiter kept trying to force an English menu on us. That was annoying. Then we ordered pulpo and pimentos de padrón. We waited for over 25 minutes for anything to arrive to the table. All that came was the pulpo so we asked "what about the pimientos de padrón?" It was then that the waiter told us they were out of peppers. I'm vegetarian and the peppers were the only thing on the menu I could eat, so that meant that I didn't eat. And by the time we had received the pulpo and my boyfriend ate, all of the other restaurants in the town were closed for lunch. Also: the pulpo was €16 and it was the smallest plate ever....
Read moreRestaurante situado junto a la calle del mercado de la piedra, al que accedí por mediación de una captadora de clientes que se encontraba en las inmediaciones. La mariscada que comimos no estaba mal, aunque nos engañaron con el buey, (nos dijeron que lo sacaban de la cetárea que tiene en el restaurante y yo creo que o era congelado o era una sobra de otra comida del día anterior, aunque no lo puedo demostrar y por eso no me quejé). Con respecto al arroz con bogavante que pedimos el plato estaba pasable (el arroz curiosamente y no entiendo porqué, lo hacen con fumé de caldo de verduras), este si que llevaba bogavante en abundancia La camarera que no atendió aunque si que fue bastante amable demostró poca profesionalidad al no saber con seguridad los ingredientes para la preparación del arroz (se le preguntó por un problema de alergias de uno de los comensales) Los precios fueron moderados. Probablemente no vuelva y desde luego no se recomendaría a nadie, ya que en la zona hay muchísimos restaurante con cartas y precios similares que sin duda alguna ofrecerán mejores productos...
