Here are a couple of relatively recent threads with recommendations. I am not much of a foodie but I love sitting outside in Casa Felisa's patio and eating a good salad. Bodeguilla San Roque for tapas.

Try A Tulla, Callejón de Entrerruas. Between Rua Nova and the Rua do Vilar.

Good food in very generous servings at Casa Manolo in Praza de Cervantes. Very popular with local students. And I had a very good and surprisingly cheap menu del dia in the tiny Restaurante Tarara just up the street from the Pilgrim Office. Excellent paella though that is not very Gallego

Ha, just goes to show how there's no accounting for tastes. I was going to add Casa Manolo and Tarara as "not recommended." Not at all questioning your recommendation, Bradypus, just noting that restaurant recommendations are oh so personal and individualized!

Ah, they do that too. I think their website just reflects their pride in managing to cater for 'aliens'

I had my best seafood meals in the "Mercado de Abastos" and I want to reccomand you to go there and have a look.
http://www.santiagoturismo.com/gastronomia-mercado-abastos
It's possible to buy super fresh seafood from the market benches, bring it to the market bar (http://www.mariscomania.com/en/), and they will cook it for you for 5€ per person (cooking, cover, bread and service). Fish and seafood in the market are cheaper than in restaurants as well. The location is also beatiful. Sometimes can be crowded (well, it's Santiago^^) so it's better if you go earlier to buy and then arrange with the bar the hour for the meal. They also cook meat and ye, they dont cook anything but the food people bring them. They serve/sell good wines and desserts tho.

Do you think we can dine there in our Camino clothes - shorts and t-shirts or will we need a change of clothes?
that sounds good
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.

Keep in mind that the mercado de abastos only does lunch, no evening meals.

No, you will be ok in pilgrim gear. I just wear a kind of dressed up scarf/ shawl giving it that bit of wordly cachet
. Will be ok, relax...

You experience must have ben better than mine. I waited for it to open, enjoyed some local blanco in the ceramic cups, but then found there was virtually no food available. Having been round the fish market only a few hours earlier I could not understand how they could have no seafood available.

@JohnnieWalker is a fantastic source of restaurant recommendations in Santiago ...from a local standpoint.
He usually has a few latest favorites that often change over time.
Hopefully he will join in if he is available.
Ivar also is a good source of current local restaurant recommendations...but out of town at the moment.

And tomorrow morning wander up to the top of Rua de San Pedro and have churros at the wee establishment on your left.
I very much agree with Sabine's recommendations of San Clemente ( for quality and value) Abastos for new and innovative cooking ( although a bit portion challenged for me) and The Obispo on the Rua Franco for tapas.
Add to that list the Securusal in the Plaza San Agustín which will also cook fresh fish and seafood you buy at the market and the Garum for an excellent and varied Menu del Dia and fantastic tapas as well as extensive wines and craft beers.
In the Old Town near Ivar's place the Plaza Mazarelos is worth visiting - the only surviving city gate stands there - through which the city's wine supplies were delivered. There are good terrace restaurants there and the relatively new Puerta do Vino restaurant which is (slightly) more up market.
For fun ( if you don't mind the expense) the Michelin starred Casa Marcelo in the Rua Hortas just off the Obradoiro is worth a visit. And a recent favourite is the Restaurant Hortas opposite which boasts a stunning garden at the back plus modern Galician cuisine cooked by two young chefs who imho have a great future.
In the Rua San Pedro near where the Camino Frances enters the Old Town there is an abundance - Dieciséis has been mentioned and is consistently good and the new neighbouring restaurant A Moa is just excellent - again with a lovely garden. Nearby is one of Santiago's Japanese restaurants if you fancy Sushi.
For that special meal, the restaurant Pedro Roca ( 100 metres from the Pilgrims' Office) is outstanding - Chef Patrón Pedro is very talented and the menu has everything you could want in modern five star cooking.
For an adventure either walk 20 minutes or get a taxi to the O Almacén restaurant which does fantastic fish and meat in enormous portions on a huge wood fired grill.
Hungry yet?
Oh I almost forgot... In the Rua da Porta da Pena the nondescript entrance to the Casa Felisa leads through the bar to a gorgeous garden restaurant. On weekdays they have a Menu del Día as well as a la carte. Well worth a visit.

Now, I have to return to Santiago to try all these great places! I have enjoyed El Gato Negro and Taberna do Bispo. I also thought Casa Manolo was good for what they do... hearty, filling, and reasonably tasty. Last time I was in Santiago, I also took a tapas tour called "Devour Galicia."

Not cheap, but exceptional food. Absolutely, Casa Marcelo- right around the corner from the main square at the church and parador.Can anyone recommend a good restaurant in Santiago? Nothing fancy just serving good gallego food.
