Service was prompt & cheerful. You gotta have dessert! Eat indoor or outdoor, where you can also enjoy people watching. Price was reasonable.

There are so many good restaurants in Santiago that it’s difficult to know where to go.

We chose this one for lunch and weren’t disappointed. The fish is so fresh , straight from the market. We had razor clams and salmonetes…..truly first class.

Excellent service and all in, a very reasonable price. This is a quality restaurant.

Wonderful restaurant with a brilliant market to table concept.  We booked 'barras', which is a shared table for 12 people and opted for the 'decide for us' service - dishes are charged individually and worked out to be around €60 each (not including wine) which is great value for money.

There was a clear explanation of each dish and we had the option to change dishes if there was something that we didn't like or preferred.

Overall - very fresh seafood, the simplicity in the cooking helped drive home the natural freshness and sweetness of the seafood. It was a great opportunity to try so many different things that we may not have ordered otherwise.

P.S. Their house Albarino is outstanding.

We decided on a bar hop starting with seafood at Abastos. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and professional. We had clams and cockles, both very fresh and perfectly cooked. We were just missing a bit of creativity, maybe some acidity, spice, or an herb to make it pop? The star of the night was the quick-cured mackerel.
