About el Barbaro Brasería
Lunch or dinner at el Barbaro Brasería lands differently from the typical coastal spread you find along this stretch of the Galician coast — the menu has an edge to it, a bit more considered, without losing the generosity. The croquettes are the thing to order first, mentioned more than anything else on the menu, followed by a rib that comes out tender and properly rested. The steak tartar and the french toast round out what people keep coming back for. Angela and the rest of the floor staff know the card well enough to steer you right, and the kitchen sends plates out at a pace that never feels rushed. The €17 lunch menu draws its own crowd, and the evening fills up fast enough that a reservation is the sensible move.
