Every time we are in town we have to come and visit our favorite restaurant. La cañita is hands down a must visit in Ferrol . When we go we always order raxo con queso *chef kiss* we ended up ordering pulpo as well. Ended dinner with crema de café shots.

Absolutely delicious! The grilled octopus and squid is fantastic. And the drinks here have high quality. The waitress is very kind and provides great advice for customers.

Absolutely superb!! Genuine galacian quisine, which was not only the best tasting meal of the whole trip, but the freshness and high quality of the ingredients is obvious, that mixed with the friendly atmosphere and popularity of the restaraunt with the locals all makes for a superb galacian dining experience. Price was fair and service was good. I can not recommend this restaraunt enough. If you eat here you must try the muscles, anchovies and clams! Beautifull!!

I was disappointed they were out of octopus but the place was busy and popular. The shrimp I had were very good. The restaurant has nice character with old stone walls.
