Restaurante Fogar do Santiso Compostela - Santiago de Compostela, A Coruña

I had a great meal here! The food, is indeed farm to table, and of very high quality. I had steak with potatoes and padrón peppers, The house red wine, which was very nice. Definitely recommend you check this out in Santiago; Especially if you’re interested in local grassfed beef.

We travel the world and eat in all sorts of places, from pubs to Michelin-star restaurants and we’d rate the food here as one of the best we’ve ever had. Understated and decently-priced, everything we ate felt like it’s just been picked from the farm/ocean and cooked by your grandma. Everything we ate we then had doubles. Their tomato salad is the best we had in Spain - and that’s a very high bar. The octopus was beautiful. And the apple pie was what you remember it to be from childhood - I had two slices, one after another. The service was also highly entertaining - waiters in Spain work hard and are very efficient, but the waiters here were at a different level altogether.

(the place has recently changed management and I would base myself off of newer reviews for an accurate description of what Fogar is really like)
Increíble! We went there on a Monday evening, table for 2, and we only have positive things to say about it: The food, which is grown by the restaurant, has some of the best flavours we've ever tasted; the bread is out of this world and the homemade fries are incredibly fresh. If you want to try a desert, I recommend the "tarta de queso" as it is simply heaven on earth. The place itself is an authentic Galician establishment, down to the plates that are the same ones my great-grandma, and every gallego household, used to own. Obviously, I'd recommend staying for "A queimada" (the burning). A show of an old galician tradition to cast away the witches. Enjoying the eau-de-vie afterwards is a nice way to end the evening!
Knowing you are eating great food in an ecological restaurant is truly nice. 10/10

An amazing experience! We ordered Galician-style grilled octopus and baby scallops and they were just incredible! Octopus was very delicious and soft and scallops just melted in mouth. Also, sangria was very good!

Fresh, local and green selection! Sangria is very tasty. Service is gracious and friendly. I wish it wasn't my last day in Santiago, that I would have found this place earlier.

Absolutely fantastic food: We enjoyed vegetarian and fish dishes, followed by a delicious dessert. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, as they use local ingredients and prepare traditional Galician dishes.

The atmosphere was much more relaxed compared to other spots on the street, and the decor added to the cozy feel. They were also very welcoming to our dog, kindly offering him water as soon as we arrived.

I highly recommend this place!

This is a great spot for organic, self grown produce and delicious dishes. We had the slow cooked veil, rump steak, organic veg and croquettes. All delicious! Would definitely recommend - especially for a break from Tapas.

Excellent food. Osso bucco was melt in the mouth and plenty of it. Slow cooked for hours in their bread oven, then finished on the firepit oven Homemade sausage was tasty....if a bit small if you were hungry (we weren't)
Served with potato wedges with rosemary and baked in the firepit oven. So good.
Their gluten free roll was served warm and crispy. It was light and made for the marrowbone and mopping up the osso bucco juices. Gf bread cannot compare to real bread, but this was one of the best substitutes I've had.
Their home made cheesecake was delicious as was the mousse cheesecake which was served with jam to honey and walnuts.
The staff were polite and efficient and happy to provide alternatives for dietary restrictions.
If you are in the area, go, don't miss out.
