Restaurants, cafe/bars, and eateries which offer pilgrim menus do not usually possess a Michelin star-the offerings are not that difficult to understand and are to found usually all along the route. Typically, you will be given a first course offering of salada mix(s)ta usually presented with hard boiled eggs and asparagus from a jar, or a vegetable soup which is chock full of meat or maybe judias verde a dish of green beans cooked with salt pork, lentils as a very thick soup or stew; a second course selection from lomo - purportedly pork but usually quite tasteless, or bacala that is salt dried cod less said the better if not professionally prepared, maybe pasta, or beef stew or meat balls. Now should you want to splurge in a real restaurant they usually have an English menu. Remember Douglas Adams "Don't Panic". Some of my best remembered conversations, some of the most interesting evenings I spent, and some of my best friendships were cemented while attempting to understand menus over dinner, exchanging less then successful choices, or bemoaning the expected dessert of industrial flan or ice cream. Every area you will pass through has its own specialties Basque tapas are great but quickly expensive, Navarra, Rioja, Burgos, Leon, the Meseta, Galician, all gooo be brave and order something even if you are not 100% certain what it may be. Pulpo? Octopus?? Not a personal favorite, despite the reputation "Ezekiel" in Melide is not the best place offering the dish if you are feeling brave try the pub in O'Cebreiro-most places will allow you a half order "media" if you are not sure try the smaller helping.
