The food was great and not expensive. Authentic spanish food and atmosphere. We went there and watch the soccer match real madrid - Barcelona (el clasico) which i can really recommend to do so when you are in Spain!! Just cheer for the team where the locals cheer for!

Great Tapas bar with a marvellous festive atmosphere the night we were there. The food was delicious, the wine was cheap and very drinkable, the staff were friendly, professional and took great time to explain the different dishes. Most of the dishes are well presented on the central bar for the customer to pick and choose and then from time... More

This place was heaving so not much chance for a sit down but the very busy bar staff were in fact very attentive and we were served drinks quickly. We didn't eat on this occasion but the food seemed very well received with a selection on the bar as well as fresh items being circulated from the kitchen regularly. Food... More

Very nice place run by local from sant antoni de calonge. Friendly staff, fresh tapas! Would definately prefer this over taverne iberica, as they were rude. But el gallego is one big melting pot of young and old who all have one passion: nice food at very affordable prices!

Agree with other posters that this is a very good tapas bar..........but it's not the best in Palamos. That title belongs to Bar Nicanor!

Great little tapas restaurant situated in the heart of Palamos. A great selection of hot and cold tapas, both on a menu, and also at the bar. All the food is reasonable priced, between 1-2 euros for each piece. A great selection of tapas - book, beef, chicken, croquettes, squid, anchovies, vegetables etc. Would definitely recommend.

Super place just off the front. Great atmosphere, told by locals it is always busy. Very cheap tapas, both hot and cold, either 1 or 2 euros each. Good selection. Wait for the hot ones being brought round, included fabulous seafood inc prawns, calamari, also pork, steak, pizza, black pudding etc. Wine very good value too. Euro Football was on... More

I couldn't agree more with Marc. The tapas come as snacks at €1, and more complex or better quality nibbles at € 2 or 3. We went there with our local cooking group and everyone expressed pleasure at the quality and value. One €2 offering was an excellent slice of pan-fried foie gras on a melba toast at €2. A... More
