Taberna Eligio — Restaurant in Vigo

An Absolute Gem in Vigo!

Taberna Eligio io is a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic Galician dining experience. From the moment you step into this charming eatery tucked away in a lively alley, you’re greeted with warmth and hospitality that sets the tone for an unforgettable meal.

The food is nothing short of spectacular - every dish bursts with flavor and is crafted with care. Highlights for us included the perfectly tender "pulpo à feira," "gambas plancha" and "vieiras pacifico plancha". Reasonably priced wine list too, with wines from about 20€.
