A Casa do Pulpo

Traditional food in a very informal but authentic place. Octopus is its speciality but other Galician and Spanish plates are also available. Variety of Galician wines and kind service.

WOAAAW, this is definitely one of the best octopus I've ever eaten 🤤🤤 it was just perfectly cooked and seasoned and it's definitely worth trying if you happen to be in Ourense! I also took some pimento de padron and those were EXCELLENT, I will most probably be back here tomorrow or the day after! Maybe even the two days actually. Friendly staff and super fast service, I literally sat down, ordered and two minutes later I was served, what else could you need..

Best pulpo (octopus) ever! We ask for the one on the grill on a bed of potatoes with ajada (olive oil + garlic). Also we tried the "zamburiñas", delicious! We had those two starters and a side salad and it was more than enough for a lunch for two. The attention was superb as well.

Average tavern trying to be special. The octopus is not up to Galician standards but it’s amazing if you live in Ireland and come here to try it out. There’s only one fish option and all the meat is what you would expect to eat at your grandma’s, homey comfort food. Follow my advice and if you come here order the simplest plates: Raxo (pork stew), tortilla, and empanada, maybe a 1/2 pulpo or the deer meatballs.

Simply place, couple high tables and chairs in an alley the pulpo was phenomenal, we also took tortillas for later and it was so delicious

Nice place to eat tapas, octopus and scallops are a must! Highly recommend!

Small and cozy place to have a great dish of grilled octopus or pulpo. One of the best tasting dish in orense in my opinion.

Ok for the service with room for improvement for the food.
