We’ve been there more than five times and all five visits have been amazing. Unfortunately, these days there are fewer and fewer places where the service, atmosphere and food are all excellent, but this is one of them.Hemos ido más de 5 veces y las 5 fueron experiencias increíbles. Por desgracia hoy en día cada vez hay menos sitios donde el servicio, el ambiente y la comida sean excelentes, este es uno de ellos.Google review · M.Á.G. · verbatim

Visiting Vigo, Spain? Arcade — Famous for oysters — is the neighbourhood with 17 ranked independent restaurants and bars our review-velocity ranking is tracking right now. 16 are trending hot this week. 51% Spanish reviews. Rankings refreshed monthly from 15,917 live reviews — no chains, no ads.

Look, Arcade isn't going to win any awards for subtlety, but if you're here, you're probably after one thing: seafood. And maybe a decent Menú del Día when you're not trying to impress anyone. The place hums with a sort of no-nonsense energy, especially around Rúa da Ponte, where you'll find places like Marisquería en Arcade pulling in punters for their ostras fresh from the ría. You can grab a dozen for around €15–€20, depending on the season, usually best before the dinner rush at 9pm. But it's not all about what swam in this morning. If you want something that feels a bit more put together, Restaurante BRASA MAR on Avenida Xosé Solla does a respectable lunch, where a solid Menú del Día will set you back about €14–€16. They don't mess around, and you shouldn't either if you're after proper portions. For something lighter, but still proper Spanish, O de sempre near the market is good for some well-executed tapas. You'll easily spend €25–€30 on a few plates and a couple of drinks, but it's quality. Evenings get a little more serious, with places like TRECE RESTOBAR offering a more considered approach to Spanish cooking on Rúa da Laxe. Expect to spend closer to €40–€50 per person if you're having a proper dinner with wine. It's where you go when you're done with casual. Don't think you're going to stumble into some secret haven. Arcade's about good, honest food, served without much fanfare, and usually by people who've been doing it for decades. Just stick to the places that look busy with locals, especially at 2:30pm for lunch.
