Pulpeira O Fiuza

After seeing the Roman lighthouse and walking through Monte Alto, O Fiuza offers a classic neighbourhood stop: octopus in the centre of the table, with peppers and bread alongside. The pulpería describes itself as a family business with more than half a century of history at Avenida Navarra 33. It also appears in an A Coruña route published by El País, which recommends it for octopus after visiting the Tower of Hercules.

The offer is deliberately narrower than the long menu of a seafront restaurant. Diners repeatedly mention tender octopus, cured beef, empanada and a friendly welcome; they also warn of waits at busy times and a simple setting that makes no claim to refinement. It is a way to eat Galician produce without seeking a panoramic dining room. Read the rating alongside those observations, not as a promise of an immediate table.

The official website confirms the address and phone number but does not publish detailed hours; several listings indicate a Wednesday closure. Calling before walking over is sensible, especially after a late visit to the tower. The pulpería works best for travellers who want to continue on foot through the neighbourhood and share plates, while a restaurant facing the sea offers a broader menu and outdoor space.
