We had a great lunch here after a long walk around A Coruna. I advise arriving early / on time for lunch, we got there about 1.30pm and found a seat easily. The octopus was amazing as was the tuna ceviche.

We had the chance to visit La Pulpería de Melide in La Coruña, and it was an outstanding experience. The octopus was simply spectacular—perfectly cooked, with an authentic flavor and ideal texture. The quality and freshness of the seafood truly stand out and make this place something special. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable for the quality offered, making it an unbeatable option. The atmosphere is cozy and the service is very attentive. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy the best Galician octopus and seafood!

Excellent pulpeira, obviously specialises in Galician style octopus, but other food is excellent too, but it's really busy, and as a result service isn't very attentive.

Mary Feiz

Antonio, the owner, brings warmth and passion to the experience, ensuring you feel welcome. The food, especially the pulpo dishes, matches the theme perfectly, with walls adorned with artistic paintings of octopus, giving the place a distinct theme. A delightful spot for seafood lovers and anyone seeking a memorable dining experience.

Everyone might be coming here for the pulpo (which for us was a tad too tender), but the secret star on the menu is their Gilda de viera, a perfect bite of marinated scallop that beats nearly every dish I’ve had in Galicia. Service was prompt and professional, and the place is full of locals having a great time.

Delicious pulpo and croquettes, good wine selection! Outdoor seating available. Busy lunch period.

Frances Juinio

The best pulpo I’ve ever had - ever! Also ordered scallops and battered fish. The fish was a little bit indulgent and rich, but everything else was INCREDIBLE. Service was also excellent.

The best restaurant I have tried in Galicia by far. I let the waiter recommend the dishes and all of them were a success. To highlight "Cecina de Txuleta" and "Gilda de caballa". I am shocked why this place has not 5/5 Totally recommendable! I will be back.

I loved this place. We had delicious food and spent an amazing evening regardless of the horrible weather. Service was super fast and efficient. I would eat the sardines they prepare there every day.

The place worth it to wait in a waiting list. Hint: pls, make reservations in advance 🤦‍♀️ I love when the menu is short, it gives felling that people cook with more love, and it’s the case. Tasty octopus (In vary size), pepper padrón and another things include bread were sooo good! Highly recommended. Looks as family style cafe. Fast servings

Muy buen lugar para comer pulpo en A Coruña. De los mejores de la ciudad . El pulpo maravilloso. La tortilla mal. Es una pasta donde no se notan las papas ni la cebolla. El lugar tiene mucho bullicio no se puede conversar

Muy cerca de la plaza María de pita, llegamos al restaurante y estaba hasta arriba. Estuvimos esperando un poco pero mereció la pena. Todo bueno, el pulpo con cachelos, banderillas de vieira espectaculares, croca de ternera muy tierna y la tarta de queso azul un manjar.

Nos esperábamos mucho más por las reseñas, no estaba mal, pero no era lo que esperábamos. Hicimos mucha cola, pero si pudimos sentarnos. El pulpo, estaba tierno, bien de cocción, pero faltaba intensidad de sabor. Las patatas que acompañaba el pulpo estaban muy ricas, pero no sabíamos que se pedían aparte, no nos lo comentó el camarero, al verlo, las pedimos. Pedimos el tartar de atún con huevo frito, estaba rico, se apreciaba el sabor de atún. Los calamares estaban sabrosos pero algunos sabían a pimientos, no sabemos si es porque utilizan el mismo aceite… o porque, no estaban calientes. La tortilla, no estaba mal, pero se puede prescindir de pedirla. Las croquetas de lacón y chipirón estaban muy ricas. No pedimos postre. Precio calidad, caro.

Llegamos temprano y había una mesa libre, preguntamos al camarero y nos sentamos, tardaron un ratito en atendernos, nos cogieron la comanda de bebidas y luego alguna tapa, ya que nos habían recomendado el sitio. Nos trajeron las bebidas y la comida pero el sitio se fué llenando y se les olvidó abrimos las bebidas. A pesar de eso el pulpo estaba muy bueno y tierno, pero merece la pena pedir la ración doble, la que se ve en la foto es una ración normal. Pero no sabíamos cómo funcionaba el tema de las raciones. Las patatas y los pimientos también están muy buenos.

Pulpería de Melide es un lugar sencillo, sin pretensiones, pero con muchísimo encanto. La atención fue correcta y amable, y aunque la carta no tiene una gran variedad, todo lo que probamos estaba realmente delicioso. El pulpo es el gran protagonista, y ver cómo lo cocinan y cortan justo ahí, en vivo, le da un toque muy especial y auténtico. El local es bastante grande, pero aún así suele estar lleno, así que recomiendo reservar si no quieres esperar. Si buscas una comida gallega tradicional, bien hecha y sin complicacion

La comida, pulpo, muy muy rico. Un poco escasos en el vaso de Albariño podria comentar. Puedes ir sin reservar, al mrnos para una persona. El servicio, al chico se le veia un poco estresado, demasiadas mesas para uno quizás, pero siempre es agradable una recomendacion, una sonrisa o traer la cuenta a tiempo. No es agradable cuando el servicio transmite estrés. Mejor saberse el menu que preguntar e ir sin prisas. Ambiente bien, gente de todas las edades, muy lleno pero sin bullicio. Merece la pena ir a tomarse un pulpo. Y el plato mediano de pulpo a muy buen precio.

Me recomendaron éste sitio y la verdad estuvo bien. Si tengo que poner un pero, és parte de la instalación, la rampa por dónde entras, está bastante deteriorado e incluso un cliente casi cae!!! Los camareros muy amables y atentos. Ojalá solucionen ese detalle.

El pulpo muy rico y el tamaño de la porción está bien para el precio. Las croquetas de lacón, fantásticas. La tarta de queso diferente pero muy rica. Más cremosa que las tradicionales. El único punto malo es que va mucha gente y hay que esperar para conseguir una mesa. A nosotros nos dijeron 20 minutos y fueron 50. Hay que ir con paciencia, pero se come rico.

Got to try the Pulpo, raser fish, cuddle fish crochet, tuna tartar and calamari. All were delicious. Some of the calamari pieces were over cooked, but still good. Our server was very nice, but didn’t speak English so we had to figure things out. Luckily they have an English menu online.

We had Pulpo dobble and it was really delicious and enough for two people, although you could eat the whole thing by yourself easily. I would recommend it!

Most guides and tours point this olace as the want to go to eat good pulpo a feria and I do agree the pulpo they have is very good, yet there are plenty of other places aroubd with good "octuos" without the need to line up for 1 hour before getting a seat. Perhaps we were very unfortunate today, but one cruise excrusion suugested their passwnger to come here for lunch and they were all booking in front of us. We decided to wait though and again, let me insist, all good yet not worth the wait being at a city like la Coruña with tons of good tapas and "pulperias" around. Once in, the menus is not too long but it is packed with best of breed of the usual galicia. tapas: potato omelette Betanzos style (not cooked to perfection though), excellent pulpo (missing some more olive oil), Padron green peppers, choco croquettes, cheesecake with Savel blue cheese,... All very good and a bit on the high end price. A must go if you are lucky no to find a queue to get in. Tip: if there is a queue you need you get into the waiting list quickly! Find the old half bald men with glases and wait for tour name to be called loud! Illustration: Double pulpo a feria foe 24,5€ (cachelos sold aside for 3,2€)

it was so delicious. definitely get the octopus and the mussels. the sauce the mussels came in was phenomenal.. we ended up ordering almost everything on the menu even though the waiter tried to stop us after 4 dishes (there was 3 of us), but we cleared everything. i haven’t had a good solid tortilla in a while and that was amazing. the desserts we got also were fantastic. the milhojas was INCREDIBLE. do not miss it. we ordered the iberian ham too which i would skip next time. only thing i would say is - it was a little pricey for what im used to in Coruña, (even though it wasn’t as bad as im used to in the US for example), and the server didn’t really speak much english. one of my friends is spanish so thank god she was there to translate but english speakers keep that in mind! i also rated the atmosphere a little lower than i would- because sitting outside wasn’t much of a vibe compared to inside… would come back for sure though :)

Words are not enough to describe the perfection of the octopus served here. My family and I were so in love with it that we wanted to revisit the restaurant the next day, but it was not possible due to the long waiting lists. Therefore, I recommend making a reservation to have the chance to try the best octopus you'll ever have in your life. If you forget to make a reservation, you can always try putting your name on the list directly at the restaurant, and with a bit of luck and patience, you might make it—we were 11, and we were able to get a table after waiting 30 minutes. Besides the octopus, we also ate the tortilla, which was, again, the best tortilla I've ever eaten in my life. It's different, as the eggs are a bit raw, but don't worry about salmonella—they know how to do their job. I only have positive words for the food, and I strongly recommend visiting this restaurant if you ever set foot in A Coruña. I will definitely eat there again, even though other aspects were just average

Maria Veronica Del Valle Pisani

Food is really good, but a bit over priced for A Coruña standards. Obviously the octopus was the highlight of the meal, but the rest of the plates were really good as well. When coming make sure you don’t arrive too late as probably you will have to wait in order to get a table as the restaurant is very popular.

Tiago Maié

The food was awesome and so was the staff. The price however, was a bit steep for some of the served portions. All in all still one of the best places to visit if you want to taste pulpo à feira (octopus as traditionally done in Galiza)

Disappointing. The Pulpo was ok, but not more than that. The staff was not particularly friendly. We have had much better pulpo in other places.

No es la primera vez que voy a este sitio y me parece que está viviendo de su fama. Las otras veces que fui era un espectaculo en general. La última fue muy floja, tuvimos que esperar bastante a que nos sirvieran en la mesa, habiendo mesas vacias, solo tenían pulpo y patatas. Los mantiene la fama y que el pulpo está riquisimo, pero si siguen asi nose como acabará.

Comida🍽️: el mejor pulpo que comí en A Coruña, sin duda. Pero la tortilla, 16,5€? Es un atraco y creo que lo mejor es que no la pida nadie, para que se den cuenta de que algo falla. Los postres muy buenos. Servicio🧑🏼‍🍳👩🏻‍🍳: un verdadero show el ver como atienden a las mesas contiguas a la tuya y pasan de ti, que les llames y pasen de ti, que tarden en todo. Que veas las caras de los trabajadores y estén quemados y sin ganas. Y todo esto, en el primer servicio de la tarde. Desconozco la situación del restaurante pero por favor, se debería revisar. Ambiente✨: un ambiente normal de cualquier terraza.

Nosotros pedimos el pulpo muy bueno el punto de cocción, y raciones para dos generosa, el calamar algo duro, no estaba a la altura del pulpo pero a rasgos generales está bien el sitio, aunque si puedes y estás a tiempo hay algún otro local con mejor calidad aunque hay que reservar con tiempo.

La comida no mata (pulpo y filete con patatas fritas) La sangria tampoco. La atención si muy bien y se agradece. Lo que no me pareció es que te ponen pan (es lo primero que hacen) y después te lo cobran en la cuenta. Yo nunca pedí el pan… se los dije y me contestaron “pero lo consumiste”…. Y claro, en todos lados lo incluyen, si al final gaste 34€ en consumo para mi y se aprobleman por dar 4 pedazos de pan… en la carta en letras minúsculas aparece que cobran un euro, para que consideren. No repetiría.
