Some crowd favorites include their spectacular percebes (goose barnacles), razor clams, and tender octopus. Each dish is crafted with care, ensuring that the beautiful essence of the ingredients shines through in every bite.

Customer Miguel Ramis captured the spirit perfectly when he described how delightful it was to discover the large and delicious percebes on a Monday, a day typically unkind to seafood enthusiasts. In his words, it was “pleasantly victorious” – and we couldn’t agree more!

While the menu showcases the ocean's bounty, there is a commitment to accessible pricing, making exquisite seafood available without breaking the bank. Customer Aw William appreciated the authenticity and high-quality products, alongside the owner’s keen attention to guest satisfaction, even offering a replacement wine at no extra charge when it didn’t meet expectations.

“Some of the best mariscos I have ever tried,” declared J Venne, underscoring that visiting El Puente is truly worth any detour you might take in Santiago de Compostela.
