Abastos 2.0 was phenomenal (June 2022). Not only was the food extradinary but the staff were the lovlist people we met in our 3 weeks of touring Spain ... a very special experience.There are lots of threads that have recommendations, but I will add two caveats — recommendations are oh so personal and you may not like what others like and vice versa. The other thing is that restaurants open and close and change management frequently. For instance, two of my favorite places in Santiago — Bodeguilla San Roque and O Dezaseis — are now permanently closed.
I have never heard a bad word about the Mercado de Abastos. Reservations recommended for sure.
Anyway, take a look at some of these threads:
Did you have a reservation? I was unable to get in on the spur of the moment, and I wondered about how far in advance I would have had to reserve. This was early October, so I imagine that in higher tourist times it can be a challenge.Abastos 2.0 was phenomenal (June 2022).

Been a couple of times to the Abastos 2.0 outdoor area and always been able to get a seat. Maybe with a minute or five of waiting. To my dismay i have to admit, i was not aware of the inside area having a different type of gastronomy going, but after hearing that, i know what i will aim for next time I'm around...
Another thing i would love to try is Casa Marcelo, just a few steps from the cathedral and recommended in this book from the rubberman. However on my first time in Santiago I did not know about it, and the second time i did not know the right people to appreciate it (it costs a bit more than the average place unfortunately). And I will under no circumstance have a sit down meal by myself if i can avoid it.

The last thread you linked was from 2019, so pre-covid. Maybe it's time for a fresh thread of restaurants! I've been planning my camino for February and would like to dive into restaurant scene more than I have before.
