Os Cachivaches

An outstanding restaurant, with a good selection of fresh items, especially fish and seafood. I bit out of the centre of Lugo, but well worth the effort to go there. Should not be missed when in Lugo.

Fantastic meal. Os Cachiavaches salad to start, a nice medley with local cheese served in a crisp tortilla shell and a superb main course of lobster rice, suffused with the juice of the lobster accompanied by Galician wine. Reasonable prices for the quality and quantity of food. Service was perfect, and the staff were willing to speak English to help my broken Spanish. Would come back any time.

It seemed like our rice was a reheated leftover, parts were cold! And the three small pieces of fish were still full of bones and the Pulpo was seriously over-salted (another indicator of re-use). The slow-cooked lamb shoulder was indeed slow-cooked, over a period of days it seems. We were so much looking forward to this but it feels like they realized we were unknowing foreigners and could thus serve repurposed dishes with impunity. A colossal disappointment given its reputation and cost.

This restaurante had excellent reviews, So I expected more… the food was ok, the service could be better, and the place I didnt like it. Prices were a bit high.

Rice was wonderful, but staff was not very attentive
