Highly recommend
This was a fantastic tour! “Ash” was knowledgeable about the food and made our experience interesting and memorable. We sampled the staples of Galician foods at an intimate setting — and two wines from the region as well. We were stuffed after five tastings, which were ample in size. It was worth every penny.

Great Food and execellent individual service!
A very enjoyable evening in a square. The tapas were delicious and the young lady serving and explaining each dish was quite knowledgeable. The unexpected entertainment (national Police protecting the city and tourists) was interesting and we felt completely safe......Thank you for the experience and delicious food.

Thank you so much for this lovely review! We are delighted to hear you had such an enjoyable evening with us out in the square. It is wonderful to know that you loved the tapas and that our server made the night special. She takes great pride in explaining the unique story and ingredients behind each dish, so she will be thrilled to hear your kind words about her knowledge and service! As for the unexpected "entertainment"—Santiago de Compostela is indeed a very peaceful and safe city, but it is always reassuring to see the local authorities out and about keeping an eye on things! We are glad it added a unique layer of comfort to your outdoor dining experience. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back for more delicious food and great service in the future! 🍷🍽️✨
