Thanks, as a chef, I presume I will reduce all the good I am doing for my waistline on the walk, by searching out some GREAT eat spots !!

Or by cooking communal meals with/for your fellow pilgrims! Chefs are normally rated very high (tongue in cheek) on the 'preferred fellow pilgrims lists', multilinguals and health (blister) professionals are not far behind. Buen Camino, SY

Cafe O Paris: best chili con carne I ever ate.

Cafe Bar Mazarelos: a chorizo dish to die for.

oh yes O Paris! I had a wonderful creatively made hamburguesa and a very light carrotsoup with ginger. Nice people too there!

And don't forget O Tragaluz, annex of a nice hotel.

Hi,

I agree for the "Los Caracoles" restaurant ... In 2009, I liked it a lot ...

This review is from a recent Guardian article, note the bolded and underlined sentence (it's time us pilgrims to take care of that for our friends in the press who may need some better company than they have been keeping):

"Galicia is renowned for sumptuous seafood that almost leaps from the Atlantic onto the plate, something that local chef Alberto Lareo showcases at his restaurant, Manso, opened in 2013. But he is equally aware of the quality of Galician beef, of wild mushrooms and the wealth of organic vegetables grown in this lush, windswept region. Although trained in Santiago, Lareo gained experience working in France, which is evident in his meticulous presentation. Try the squid ink croquetas, grilled sea bass with saffron and clementine jus, or cabbage with egg yolk, truffle and almond cream. Manso may not be particularly trendy, nor in the medieval heart of Santiago, but that keeps the swarms of pilgrims at bay. It’s well worth seeking out for the great value lunch menu."
