Bar La Cátedra Tapas y Vinos

Dinner for 3 - enjoyed each dish. The Tosta with queso picon (blue cheese) & anchovies was stand out. Relaxing vibe ordering a few dishes at a time until we were satiated. Would dine here again.

Loved this bar, very good vibes. Kitchen opens at 19:20, we had some very nice pinchos while we waited for the kitchen to open. Good service. We really liked the mushrooms in blue cheese sauce, that was our favorite. A great place for drinks and some food, it got very busy in the evening.

Stumbled on this place by accident. We were drawn in by the decor, authentic vibe and menu. However as great as it looked from the outside it was terrible. There was no organisation and people were fighting for tables. There was only one waiter and one barman for all the tables. Waiter offered me English menus then didn’t bring them or even take our order for 20 minutes. They didn’t have the croquet as I wanted, so we order three tapas only two arrived. When we asked for second round of drinks they didn’t arrive. After chasing they brought one drink and had to go the bar and demand the second. Getting the bill took another 40 minutes. The food when it arrived though presented well was average at best. Poor waiter was really nice but they needed about 3 or 4 more staff. The place has potential to be really good but was a big key down. Only plus was the price was amazing 2 euro for a glass of wine.

What an amazing and cute tapas bar. I strongly recommend anyone paying a visit. There are many outside tables, the vibe is great, the food is AMAZING, the service is 10 out 10. The lovely waiters, the kitchen and the barman will give you their best to make sure you have a great experience. You will be shocked by how fresh everything is, you can tell by the look of it. I recommend you trying the squid and the prawns with garlic butter.

The Best place in Santander, great restaurant, nice staff and tasty stuff. Great pleasure to recommend everyone to be there. P.S. todays grilled octopus definitely won't be the last one I order here. 10/10 If you stay in Santander, you have to be there!

Very friendly staff. Food was authentic and tasted very good. We sat outside and both times chatted with couples on other tables. The kitchen opens at 7.30 pm for cooked meals but you can get hot and cold snacks on bread before that, have a look at what is on display at the counter. This is in a pedestrian street. The Cantabrian stew was really good!

We were clearly taken advantage of for only speaking basic Spanish. Although I made sure that I placed my order clearly, and pointed on the menu exactly what I asked, the waiter (middle aged man, only man working on that Sunday evening) brought us different -and more expensive dishes. When dishes were brought, I even double checked by asking again and pointing on the menu. The food was good, but I definitely wouldn't recommend if you're not fluent.

I highly recommend it. The food is amazing, very big servings and affordable prices. The people who work there are very nice and kind.

The food was insane good. Only had a salad and tomato and anchovies pincho with cheese and the flavor was out of this world. Bottle of great Cava and dinner only $40 Euro. Wow.

One of the best tapas place that me and my friend stopped by during our 5 days northern Spain road trip. We tried 4 different tapas and they were all very good. Lots of variety to choose from as well. The waiting staff was very attentive and were willing to try to speak some English for us travelers.

Excellent pinchos and friendly service. Great stop for a quick lunch. A mixture of savory and sweet, delicious! And friendly service to top it all off.
