El De Alberto

We visited this restaurant today, drawn by the many excellent reviews and eager to try some good Galician cuisine here in “A Coruña” And I have to say, the food was truly delicious: dishes with intense, authentic flavors, prepared with care and high-quality ingredients. We would gladly give the food 5 stars without hesitation. Unfortunately, however, the service did not meet our expectations. The waiter who served us spoke extremely fast, almost as if he were reading from a script, without offering any recommendations or personalized suggestions. And even though I mentioned that we would have appreciated his input, he kept talking mechanically, just listing the names of the dishes. The most disappointing moment came when I tried to ask about the desserts, but I was briefly distracted with my daughter. Still, he went on reciting the list without pausing or adjusting to the situación and then simply walked away. At that point, we decided not to have dessert there and went elsewhere instead. That said, we want to highlight that the waiter who brought us our drinks was very kind and professional, as was the owner, who was very courteous and open to feedback. In short: excellent food, but the overall experience was affected by impersonal and inattentive service.

We were welcomed by Alberto who introduced us to the tasting menu we were going to have. He offered to make changes if there was something in the menu we were not interested. His team of waiters are very attentive and explained each dish when bringing it to the table. The somelier came to offer us wine to pair it with the food. Overall great experience and all dishes were very tasty, well cooked and flavoursome. Definitely a place to come back.

We had the best experience at El De Alberto. From being greeted at the door by the owners and the entire friendly team to the care taken to recommend dishes, to the amazing quality, taste and portions of their tasting menu. Everything was 10/10. We loved everything about the dinner we had there and would love to come back!

This is certainly a gem among all the gastronomic offers in La Coruña. They use high-quality products. We love everything that we had. I highly recommend the sea bass with pil pil of piquillo pepper and the short ribs.

Great place to enjoy a revamped traditional cuisine full of flavor. This place is exactly like this, traditional dishes with a modern touch, and enhanced flavors. For instance, we had ravioli, rib, braised ox tail and scallops. Pros: the mix of flavors is strong, they evolve in mouth and the feeling is super positive. Cons: sometimes some really good products are masked in their original textures and flavors. Anyway, a good value for money option in A Coruña 4.6 stars on my opinion

Price quality relationship is off the charts! Amazing restaurant with super friendly and honest service. Great food. 7 course menu with half a bottle of good wine for €50... science fiction? Nope! Book it while it lasts!

I went solo back in Fall 2021 just at opening time (they even let me in a few minutes before) and let me tell you this was the best meal I had in all of Spain. I would go back to Coruña just to eat here again. Almost missed my flight back and if I did, I would not have regretted it. As someone who grew up eating the freshest seafood you can ever imagine (family of fishing enthusiasts living in an island), and having been to some Michelin star restaurants, the only other time I had a fish comparable to the one here was the ones that my dad grilled at the beach right after coming out of the water. How about making a gourmet dinner with that kind of fish? The sauce around it, the wine, the torrijas as dessert… price was unbeatable for the quality of the food and the treatment. I want to manifest that I’ll be back someday.

Probably my favourite restaurant on our trip, probably moreso even than the Michelin starred restaurant we went to in Vigo. Alberto is a very gracious host and seems to attend to all the tables as well as all of his very attentive staff. His attention to details extends to all aspects of the lovely room, the impecable food (the red tuna, oxtail stew, artichokes, and terrejas were all delicious and beautifully presented, and left me more than once wondering what the recipes were) and the beautiful restaurant interior. A fabulous end to a fabulous vacation.
