Fogar do Santiso



Last night Jose and I took mom, dad and Sergio to Fogar do Santiso. It's a really fun restaurant... a wooden shack with cobwebs hanging from the ceiling...no forks or plates...good music, lots of people, and the "Queimada", which is a typical Galician alcoholic drink. They put the alcohol in a big cauldron with coffee beans, orange peel, and lots of sugar...then they burn the alcohol out of it. We had a blast. Ate octopus, squid, and pork ribs. Drank cinnamon liquor. Listened to Galician bagpipes. Drove away the "meigas malas" (bad witches) with the Queimada...it's a fun Galician tradition. Here are some pictures of the event.












Tomorrow's another day...

Love your review and the photo's have enabled me to finally explain to my work colleagues why I have a 'fogar do santiso' cup as my drinking vestibule over here in the UK - you see my father-in-law and his family are from luou only 200 yds along the lane from the restaurant. Words cannot explain the amazing atmosphere that the restaurant generates when busy... now I cannot wait to return to Galicia again next year...

Thank you.
