Cerveceria El Crisol - O Grove

El Crisol is one of the largest places in the town to sit and eat. It looks out onto to the river/port and is open for most of the day. I visited with my wife and her parents on some occasions, with just my wife on others, and by myself a couple of times. The tapas were different on some days but tortilla seems to be the main one. This tortilla contains onions (some folk care about this, I like it either way) and is very runny. It was my first tortilla cooked this way, I enjoyed it but it did keep repeating on me. On one occasion, we were given ensaladilla rusa which is something I never say no to. It was a decent ensaladilla and service tends to be quick although not overly friendly/attentive. I had breakfast there one morning which consisted of pan e tomates, orange juice and a coffee. The orange juice was the best part, absolutely delicious. My wife ordered a sandwich one day and we shared it, it wasn’t the best sandwich that I have eaten but it’s not the worst one. I’m not a fan of sliced bread produced in a factory nor do I like ham with more water content than meat. That said, it’s a place worth visiting to grab a drink or to meet someone at.

Stopped in at 10:30 am on a weekday because the menu out front has breakfast items printed on it. Sat down ordered coffee. Tried to order anything on the menu from out front, only to be told “no cocina.” Go somewhere else if you want to eat.

Good place, just asked for a tapa with a beer. Pretty common in these villages. No sorry, the kitchen is closed, we don’t offer free tapas, however, you can get anything from a la carte menu. But…didn’t you say the kitchen is closed? Don’t go, they fill up the tables with tapas once tourism goes in October. I’m a local.

Estuvimos una noche en septiembre y nos gusto tanto que repetimos a la noche siguiente

Bueno calidad precio. Las zamburillas exquisitas. Déjate un buen hueco para los postres. Son brutalmente enormes y muy ricos, sobre todo la tarta de limón!
