About Mesón La Gallega
Harder to find than it should be in Marbella's casco antiguo, and worth every wrong turn. The pulpo a la gallega comes out at a perfect point of cooking — the kind of precision that keeps people coming back — and the anchovies are the right way to start. The Spanish omelette and tarta de Santiago are the other dishes people keep writing about. David, Dana and Macarena run the room with a warmth that makes the place feel genuinely like someone's home, right down to the house chupitos at the end. The atmosphere is cozy in the way that only a place with real regulars achieves. Galician cooking done with care, in the middle of Marbella.
