Meson A Fonte - Viveiro

We were recommended to this restaurant and not disappointed. We arrived at about 2pm on a grey midweek day and the place was buzzing- mainly with locals. There are 2 seperate rooms to this restaurant . One side and the bar is more tracditional and the other(where we were offered a table) rather more modern. We opted for one of the menu del dia options at only 9 Euros and managed to choose things we could understand verbally (no written menu offered) from the friendly waitress. It was filling and tasty and good value including wine. Agood find.

We chose this restaurant on the basis of the trip advisor reviews- although my Spanish is not bad the main problem here is making a choice from the Menu Del Dia and the Especial Menu as the dishes are not written down but just read out to customers by the waitress- having asked to repeat the choices twice AND asked explanations we did not feel we could ask a third time so had to make a hurried choice- hubby a bit put out that he made a poor choice. I had stuffed eggs for starter, then calamares with chips and ice cream for pudding. Hubby had an enormous chick pea kind of fabada which was good but the second course he wasn't even sure what it was although it had the appearance of minced meat but just kind of dumped on a plate of Luke warm chips. This is a fast service type of restaurant where the courses arrive immediately you have finished the first one. Having said that 3 courses with bread and half carafe of reasonable quality white wine and a coffee afterwards all for a total of 18 euros is incredible value.

Wow ! Words cannot do justice to this place. Try the menu de dia especial it 's a 3 course lunch inc a bottle of decent Rioja for €16 each or even the €9 3 course lunch a must try is the Pulpo a la plancha !!! I have eaten in just about every place in and around Viveiro and this is my number 1 recommendation !!

Todo lo hace muy bueno y barato, especialmente carnes asadas. Tengo mucho.

Fue mucho tiempo desde que comí tan bien. energía total para la resurrección. ¡Gracias Mary!
