I have not been, but have heard good things about Antollos. They have great reviews and they are on my list of places to visit next spring. The pictures on their website just inspired me to go eat lunch!

Petiscos Cardeac Tapas is absolutely the best! Very close to the cathedral. Every time we're in Santiago, we go nearly every day, sometimes multiple times a day.

Sit at the bar to get a great experience.

% even better if you arrive at 12 midday as they open. Produce is so fresh!

Gracias, as we walked into town, saw Antillos, in there now.

Nice fare at the Mercado as well. Great restos around there that will prepare your purchase for lunch.

Awesome! Would love to hear your review of the place!

The best tapas are the ones that are not ordered or expected.

1. Xuntanza is a craft beer joint popular with locals. They do a few special tapas each day. Get there right before they open to snag an outside table. My favorite place.
2. Bar La Cueva is open earlier than many. Try the “Rabid Tiger” tapa; mussels in a spicy sauce.
2. Pub Momo has an awesome terrace and views, cool stone walled interior. Popular with younger Spaniards; tapas are okay but fun place.
3. Os Croques Bar de Tapas is at the south end of Plaza de la Quintana. Their tapas are so-so but it’s my favorite people-watching spot and there is often live music out in the plaza.
4. Bar La Tita for their tortilla.
5. I haven’t tried Vinoteca O Filandón or Viñoteca Ventosela yet, but hear good things.

My favourite place to be within three hours (or so) of arrival!

I don't recall finding a bad place, although I did find a couple of 'restaurants' serving re-heated pizzas and paellas that I would avoid if you haven't had your fill of tapas.

There's a place called Las Vegas that I liked last time I was in Santiago:

Restaurante Las Vegas · Av. de Rodrigo del Padrón, 9, 15705 Santiago de Compostela, A Coruña, Spain

But I'd say the key is to put some distance between yourself and the cathedral (even get out of the historical center entirely), and then sit down at the shabbiest hole-in-the-wall bar you can spot. In Spanish touristy areas, there's often an inverse correlation between restaurant decor and food quality.

We loved this one too.
