Long-standing, popular local eatery which can get crowded in summer with tourists. It's got a nice outside rear & shaded terrace. The typical, traditional Galician food like octopus and green peppers is abundant and good value for money. The meal was washed down with a decent bottle of Mencía. Lovely surroundings in deepest Ribeira Sacra near to river Sil canyon and many local wineries like Ponte de Boga and Cachin which are worth visiting. This was my first visit in 5 years and not alot has changed, if anything. The team of waiters and waitresses remain efficient at their jobs. So thank you in particular to Angeles and Edu.
