La Zarzamora
Quick Verdict
Locals come back because the food tastes like someone's actually cooking it, the portions are generous, and the price doesn't punish you for quality. This is the kind of place that works whether you're alone, with a partner, or in a group.
Book if you want small plates that taste deliberate, a wine list that knows what it's doing, and staff who care enough to make recommendations that land.
About La Zarzamora
La Zarzamora is a small Mediterranean restaurant in Bueu that doesn't announce itself but rewards anyone who walks through the door. It's casual and cosy, the kind of place where you arrive hungry and leave ordering more because everything lands. The menu runs to small plates and shareable dishes — huevos rotos con langostinos, croquetas de chorizo y miel, crepes de pulpo with San Simón cheese, tostas the size of a small plate. The kitchen treats each order with care. Service moves fast without rushing you, and the staff (regulars mention Carlos specifically) steer you toward what's working that day. Reviewers who found it by accident now return deliberately. It's family-friendly, wheelchair accessible, takes reservations, and the wine list is strong enough that people notice. The homemade cheesecake is consistent enough that it shows up in multiple reviews unprompted.

Shellfish and egg dishes executed with precision
Huevos rotos con langostinos described as 'gloriosos' and 'quitan el sentido' (literally: they knock your senses off). Gyozas called 'espectaculares', chipirones praised, langostino dishes mentioned in 4+ reviews as standouts.
Staff that actually guide you
