A Taberna de Cunqueiro

BEST OCTOPUS IN A CORUÑA!!
I suggest that you make a reservation as the place is always packed, otherwise you will have to wait to see if you are lucky enough to get a table.
While we waited for our table to be ready we had a couple of beers in the bar where we were greeted with 3 tapas each, all of them amazing.
We wanted to try all the classics, as we were a party of 2 we decided to go with half portion of each. To be honest, the portions are huge and just 2 half would have been more than enough, maybe 3 of them if you are starving.
We started with the tuna empanada which was out of this world, followed by baked scallops which were my favourites as the garlic marinade was delicious. Also, we got shrimps and padron peper which are always mouth watering.
But the highlight of the meal was the octopus, which was cooked to perfection, good amount of sea-salt and paprika on a bed of soft creamy potato.
Seriously, this place is one of the best of the city.

What a great place to taste local galician specialties! The “tavern” atmosphere and vibe, as well as the very friendly and helpful staff, made the whole experience perfect.

The place is super busy, but we found a table without reservation because we got there at 16:00.

We got tapas (half) portions to share and everything we got was deliciously cooked. Pulpo con Cachelos (octopus with potatoes) is a must and it’s the best one we’ve had in Spain -so far! We also tried the Zamburiñas a la Plancha (grilled scallops) -the sauce left us speechless, Chipirones Fritos, Pimientos de Padrón and Croquetas Caseras (homemade croquettes). The bread portion was very generous and the bread itself was amazing.

The plot twist, though, was the “Callos a la Gallega” (a hearty chickpea and sausage stew) small treat that they brought us with our beers at the beginning. Was like an explosion of tastes in our mouths!

Overall, great experience and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to try authentic cuisine from Galicia.

Good experience, food is good, octopus was really well done, cooked and served. Beer was extremely good as it should be estrella Galicia in A Coruna. Price was really fair for the quality.

Definitely worthy every euro that I've spent here. The quality of the pulpo a feira its incredible. If you want to enjoy this place make sure to book a reservation because it's always full

Amazing food and very cozy, friendly and lively atmosphere. I managed to have pulpo a la feira e pimentos before when all other restaurants were still closed, and it was delicious! Definitely recommended

A wonderful experience. There weren’t any tables available so we chose to stand at the bar. I’m glad we did. The atmosphere is friendly. The bocas fantastic. My wife loved the octopus.

We were lucky enough to only have a short wait for a table without a reservation considering how popular this place is and for good reason! The food was delicious and reasonably priced. We had the pulpo, half portions of potato omelette and padron peppers and a basket of bread, a beer and coffee. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Staff are very friendly and provide great service. Credit cards accepted.

I didn't not make a reservation, so the guys suggest to wait at the bar. I had some white wine and they served a cheakpeas soup. As soon as the table freed up I was seated.
I went for the octopus dish, which I was craving after reading some reviews. It was not I was expecting, it was even more. Loved it. Had some chocolate cake as dessert.

The guys were fast and accommodating.

Deffo a come back.

Muchas gracias.

Staff were great. Restaurant was full so we were offered free snacks while we waited which were amazing. Then we were seated and had a fabulous meal.

There are several places in the popular Estrella street, however several friends recommended this place. The food is delicious. We ordered several dishes and all were amazing. We will back!

The steamed cockles and mussels were absolutely delicious - so fresh!

Great place to go in the heart of A Coruña. Highly recommended !

As with all good places, it gets busy so I'd recommend to book. We were lucky to get a table. Food was great

Likely one of the best “polbo á feira” I have ever had: melting in your mouth. Prices are okay, although there are for sure cheaper resto in A Coruña. Overall, I really had a good time and the service treated me well. I will remember this place.

What a delicious dining experience! We tried several local wines (2,60€ a glass), a cheese platter (10€), delicious ham croquettes (9€), and a great Caesar salad (6€). You’ve got to try it!

Enjoyed their delicious octopus over potatoes outside in the charming narrow street - worth a visit.

Simple, fresh and tasty!
We heard about this place and the reviews were spot on! The service was wonderful even though it was rather busy and the seafood- cockles, squid and mussels - were excellent!
If after days or tortillas and pulpo you want to have a change, this is it! Beware though- the portions are big!

Walked in without a booking on a Sat around 6:30pm

I chose this place based on reviews, but also cause it was one of the few that was open.

Though booked out they let us sit at a table that was reserved for later in the evening

I read the reviews that said they gave generous servings. But the servings of peppers and mussels were such that I thought they had given us double

The wine was perfect and the atmosphere and service was perfect for us.

In addition the food was some of the tastiest we have had over the last two weeks as well as economical

Cool restaurant, a bit little but beautiful and caratteristic, the food is awesome, the service is good and the waiters are kind and nice. Highly recommended.

Cosy restaurant with very good food for a decent price. A lot of local people having a drink and a bite before diner.
