For a vegan on the Camino, this was an unexpected gem. I was able to have a vegan Pilgrim meal which was awesome. Right on the route, al fresco. Brilliant! Three course meal including a beer for €14

Cold day here in Viana. Was lucky to have found this bar with a local vibe. The vegetable soup and lentils (part of menu de peregrino) were so delicious!!! Tasted homemade (great job, chef!) ; felt comfort food warmed me up immediately and I’m expecting I’ll be sleeping like a baby tonight . Fran and the other 2 gentlemen working there were so fun! I’d definitely go back.
