Discover this place

Green, located in the heart of Santiago de Compostela, is a delightful restaurant that embodies the charm of Galician cuisine. With a welcoming atmosphere and menus available in multiple languages, diners are treated to a true culinary experience.

Patrons rave about the local flavors, especially the pulpo a la gallega (octopus) and caldo Gallego (Galician soup). Esther Wu describes it as a "hidden gem" with fresh ingredients and a friendly staff that create a warm environment. The perfectly balanced flavors in dishes like the octopus with mushrooms and beef shank with vegetables demonstrate the chef’s dedication to quality and authenticity.

Also praised is the service, illustrated by Chef Menajem Peretz’s experience when he was welcomed despite arriving late. It's the kind of place that feels like home; you might even return for desserts like chocolate and churros after a satisfying meal. Wojciech Zielinski highlights Green as a perfect spot for a leisurely lunch, particularly appealing for those completing the Camino de Santiago.

Though one guest found it slightly pricey, the overall consensus is clear: Green offers a memorable introduction to Galician food that is both delicious and comforting.

Hidden gem. Lovely staff, menus in multiple languages. I had the sweetest fresh squeezed orange juice (zumo natural de naranja), home comfort level Galician soup (caldo Gallego), and the classic Galician style octopus (pulpo a la gallega or pulpo a feira). Delicious. I got there when it opened at 12noon on Sunday, and was quiet. A few others trickled in, but it began filling up quickly with locals about 1-1:30pm. Highly recommended! Everything was fresh and tasty.
