Tucked away in the northwest corner of Spain, Santiago de Compostela is an unexpected gem.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

With dark stone buildings, regular rainfall and bagpiping buskers, you’d be excused for thinking you were a little further north in the world. But no, this is what they call Green Spain. And up here the cuisine is fantastic, meaning that discovering Galician food is a dream.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There’s fresh seafood from the cold waters of the Cantabrian Sea, delicious beef from the grassy Galician hills and an abundance of vegetables from small market gardens. We’ll get into where to eat in Santiago de Compostela in a bit, but first: a primer on Galician food and what you need to try!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Galician Food: What to Eat in Santiago de Compostela<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In no particular order, here are the bites you can’t leave Santiago (make that Galicia!) without trying.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Pulpo a la Gallega<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Also known locally as polbo \u00e1 feira<\/em>, this is octopus boiled to perfection and then lightly sprinkled with sea salt and Spanish paprika. For seafood lovers, this dish is the holy grail. And rightly so, as it’s delicious when cooked perfectly\u2014but so hard to get right.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"Galician\r\n
Galician-style octopus is the essential Santiago food.<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Pimientos de Padr\u00f3n<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

These small green peppers are the Russian roulette of tapas: Most are mild, but one in about 20 is nice and spicy! They’re lightly fried and then sprinkled with sea salt, and are served either on their own as a tapa or as a garnish with red meat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"Two\r\n
As the saying goes: Some are hot and some are not!<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tarta de Santiago<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tarta de Santiago<\/a> is one of the city’s must-try desserts. This moist almond cake is covered with powdered sugar and features an imprint of the cross of Santiago (St. James). Paired with a cup of coffee, it’s the perfect pick-me-up between sightseeing stops.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n

Steamed Mussels<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Mussels are so prized in Galicia that they even have their own protected designation of origin quality seal. Caught locally, they are so fresh and delicious that they don’t need much else to shine\u2014most gallegos<\/em> will enjoy them with a simple squeeze of lemon.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Caldo Gallego<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Galicia is one of Spain’s rainiest regions, but luckily this warming local stew helps make the dreary days a bit cozier. Made with kale, pork, chorizo, white beans, and more, caldo gallego<\/em> is the ultimate Galician comfort food.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

T-Bone Steak<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Galician beef is famous throughout Spain, so don’t miss the chance to enjoy it straight from the source. It doesn’t get much better than a fantastic grilled steak, known locally as chulet\u00f3n<\/em>, cooked medium rare and finished with a dash of sea salt.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"T-bone\r\n
Sometimes all you need is a really good steak.<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tetilla Cheese<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Spanish cheese is incredible across the board, and Galicia’s best-known variety is no different. Creamy and mild tetilla<\/em> cheese is easy to spot thanks to its unique pointed dome shape. Grab some at the market and enjoy with a glass of your favorite Spanish wine<\/a>!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"Cone-shaped\r\n
Tetilla<\/em> cheese is one of Galicia’s top gourmet products.<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Empanada<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Empanadas are perhaps one of the most widespread Galician foods throughout Spain. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of possible fillings, but the most classic variety is a simple tuna and tomato blend.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"Slices\r\n

Where to Eat in Santiago de Compostela<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Now that you know a few local specialties to look out for, here’s where to eat in Santiago de Compostela.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Casa Pepe<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Rustic yet refined, Casa Pepe (Cant\u00f3n de San Bieito, 5<\/em>) is a top spot for wine, cheese and cured meats. Swing by early in your evening, or for a bite before lunch. Even better, head here after a morning spent foraging in the nearby Santiago market.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Abastos 2.0<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When it comes to where to eat in Santiago de Compostela, it doesn’t get any fresher than this.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Abastos 2.0<\/a> is a hole-in-the-wall tapas joint that forms part of the Santiago market. Owners (and brothers) Marcos and Iago cast a keen eye over the market produce each morning, buy whatever looks good, then cook it up for guests.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As you’d expect, the preparation is simple, the ingredients are ultra-fresh, and once something runs out… well, there’s always tomorrow, right?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

El Caballo Blanco<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you’re looking for gourmet Galician food, then El Caballo Blanco (Praza da Pescader\u00eda Vella, 5<\/em>) is not the place for you. But if you like cold beer, generous free tapas, and a salt-of-the-earth wait staff, then you’ve come to the right place.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Casa Marcelo<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Whoever thought of combining the cuisines of Galicia, Peru, and Japan must have known what they were doing. After all, this place got a Michelin star for it!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you’re hankering for fresh, inventive and cooked-before-your eyes food that’s both comforting and surprising, then hit up Casa Marcelo<\/a>. The communal tables are a nice touch.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Mercado de Abastos (Santiago Market)<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This traditional food market<\/a> opens every morning, but is especially lively on Saturdays. Vendors selling meats and seafood line the vaulted passageways while local gardeners sell a cornucopia of freshly picked crops outside. You’ll see mountains of Padr\u00f3n peppers,<\/em>\u00a0and this is perhaps the most authentic place to try pulpo a la gallega<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Apart from the market, we recommend two spots for the best pulpo<\/em> in Santiago.\u00a0Los Sobrinos del Padre Benito and\u00a0Pulper\u00eda os Concheiros are both rustic joints that are locally famous for their octopus.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
