I will walk into Santiago on my birthday tomorrow and would like to have a glass of champagne and a good meal with friends. Recommendations?

I have no recommandations, but: Happy Birthday!

Abastos 2.0 if you like seafood.
Taberna do Bispo for a bit more "touristic" tapas (still good)
O Gato Negro for a bit mor traditional experience

Lots of options here. Last January my group told them where we were from and they started running a video of our town's streets on the big screens. Very festive place.

If you want a very upscale experience for an unbeatable price-point:
O' Seindero

But I agree about the market, also for a bit larger budget: LUME (which is across the street from the market) and the Gato Negro is kind of a "classic institution" in the old town... maybe for *after* the meal?
Here s the LUME link: https://www.luciafreitas.es/en/lume

I'm an omnivore, but some of my best meals in Santiago this year were at a couple of vegan restaurants.

Without a doubt O Sendeiro!
Star quality.
Menu but also sharing plates.
Highly recommended.
Super nice staff and quite handsome waiters too .

Edit : was too quick with posting and only now saw that @Perambulating Griffin had the same advice. Seems we have both good taste .

El Papatorio. You have to make reservations. It's easy to do online.

Cava, surely?

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

I've just checked the time in Santiago, happy birthday @KariannNor. I wish I was there to buy the cava, share the meal and become your friend. If you'd share some of that cava that is.

We had an excellent celebratory meal at A Horta d'Obradoiro!

I may be late, but if money is no object, the restaurant in the parador , Reataurant dos Reis, is lovely.
In any event, what a great day to celebrate your birthday! Buen Camino and Happy Birthday!
