About Pulpería O Piorno
Rúa Franco in the old town is lined with places chasing pilgrims, but O Piorno earns its regulars the harder way. After a week of eating pulpo across Galicia, one local reviewer called this the best by a clear margin — and that verdict keeps repeating. The octopus a feira is the dish to order, though the scallops, mussels, and chipirones pull serious numbers of their own. Pimientos de Padrón and gambas al ajillo round out the table well. Portions are generous enough that four people, a full spread, and a bottle of wine land around €85.
In the last 90 days, Pulpería O Piorno has drawn 19 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.
