Restaurante A Moa

Stopped by in early November 2025 on a recommendation from my local friends, Vi and Markus, and it was a highlight of our trip! ​The service was truly amazing. I have a severe shrimp allergy, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure my safety, even seating me at a table furthest from the kitchen and near a ventilation window. I felt completely looked after. ​The food was equally impressive: ​Ceviche Tropical de Corvina: Perfect. The most exquisite, balanced explosion of flavor in every bite. ​Bacallau ao Forno: The richness of the oils from the roasted cod was beautifully balanced by the light creaminess of the cauliflower. I personally would have loved a bit more of a kick from the oil, but the dish was still delicious. ​High-quality food and top-tier care for their guests. Highly recommended!

We had lunch today at this restaurant in Santiago de Compostela, recommended by a local. Overall, we were very pleased, though the experience didn’t start well. A waitress at the entrance, who we later learned works only in the indoor area, was cold and unwelcoming, she sighed loudly as we arrived right on time. It was off-putting, and we almost left. Luckily, another staff member, likely the owner, welcomed us warmly and seated us in the beautiful, cozy garden. The service there was excellent: attentive and friendly. We chose several fish dishes to share, highlighting the local seafood, and everything was delicious with unique, well-balanced flavors. The dessert was excellent too. We’d give 5 stars if not for the poor initial welcome, especially with two kids. Thankfully, she didn’t serve us. Great food, wonderful service in a lovely setting. Just improve the greeting at the door for a perfect experience.

The finest dining experience I had in all of Galicia — exquisite food, a truly enchanting atmosphere, and the warmest, most welcoming people. I would return a million times over without hesitation.”

On of the best Spanish food I had in Spain. Top notch tasty food especially the rice with squid ink and the melt in your mouth pork are the best I had for a long time! They do get busy and make sure to make reservation or go on non-peak time

The value was incredible! We shared four starters. The portions were so generous that we could not finish. Chucks of fish ceviche. Delicious grilled squids with garlic mashed potatoes. At €16 or less. Including a nice bottle of Albariño, water, bread and cappuccino all for €85 including tax and tips. In a simple but comfortable, modern setting restaurant downstairs overlooking a garden. The trendy upstairs tapas bar with seating offers a good option if you want a quick bite or a glass of wine.

You enter, there is no host, and you have zero idea where to go... And when you tell them you don't reserved a table, they aggressively kicking you back to the top floor and tell you can have tapas. And the place was hot and humid, no air conditioning!!!

Great tapas with a good selection of wines. The atmosphere inside is lively and full of joy. We arrived a bit too early for food, but they were very welcoming and helped us get our order in as soon as the kitchen opened.

Just for a vermouth, an informal lunch sharing some tapas or for a dinner based on local product at the dining downstairs or at the charm garden, A moa is a serious option in town, always plenty of locals.
