"The history of La Bombi, a classic address in Santander hospitality, is indelibly linked to the Puertochico district and the modest fisherman’s “taberna” (called La Bombilla, hence the current name) that opened its doors there in 1935. In this restaurant, with a small bar at the entrance and several small dining rooms simply laid out in contemporary style, the same focus on quality of ingredients and service remains to the fore. The splendid array of fish and seafood (including some from their own display tanks, which are then priced by weight) stand out here, although the menu also features some top-quality meats." - Michelin Inspector
Wonderful restaurant, if you want to eat seafood this is the place, the owner is the one who's taking care of you. The wine list is great

We entered La Bombi completely by chance and it was the best decision of our Santander stay ! The bar tender immediately welcomed us although it was already busy. He made sure we had a table (as the restaurant only opens at 21h, everyone waits at the bar)
The food was outstanding: very nice clams to start, then we chose the solomillo (beef). It was absolutely out of this world. I took the one with salt, my husband with the anjovis sauce - we recommend both. You do need to like red meat rare/max medium rare. Excellent wine list and friendly service by the staff and restaurant manager. We will definitely come back !

One of the most famous restaurants in Santander. Something was off this night.
Ordered medium rare rib eye steak - had a beautiful cut - ordered medium rare arrived well done.
Asked for salt at least 3 times . Got amazing tomatoes and olive oil with salt - but no salt as requested.
Girlfriend ordered oysters for appetizer they were average .
Ordered crab from the tank , not sure if the same was what was served.
In any case - famous famous - but not going back .

Very friendly reception with an excellent presentation of the fish
We had some octopus as start and a grilled fish as main course
The wine was a Rioja Monte Real very good and with honest price
I do recommend
When there, ask for Cesar to introduce the menu
