A Galician pulpería in the Gothic Quarter since 1946, doing one thing with total conviction: pulpo a feira, Galician octopus, served with Ribeiro wine in ceramic cunca cups over sawdust floors. Order the pulpo, pimientos de Padrón, and the wine in its little ceramic cup, and you are done. Lunch, when the Gothic Quarter's workers pile in, or the early evening before the tourists arrive, are the windows. Cash is preferred. It is no-nonsense perfection — a Galician outpost that has held its ground in the heart of the old city for nearly eighty years without diluting a thing.
