Places to eat in A Coruña
The best quality/price option to have lunch on Monday to Friday is menu del día (daily menu). It includes two dishes, a drink, a coffee and a dessert and it costs 10-16 euros, depending on the quality and the location.
There are a couple traditional local dishes you shouldn't leave without trying.
-
Raxo: Dish that consists of pieces of pork and is usually served with fries.

Spanish omelette: Here, omelette is usually cooked on Betanzos-style. It's known for being oozy inside while the outside is cooked. If you prefer the "Spanish classical style" you should specify it.
