A great variety of seafood to choose from We enjoyed the shrimp cakes the most. Other dishes we tried were: stuffed mussels, fried monkfish, and octopus ‘con cachelos’. They were interesting and we enjoyed our overall experience.

We visited this restaurant back in February 2020 and had an amazing time. Best seafood and wonderful service. Probably the best octopus we have ever had. Would return to Salamanca just to eat there again! Can’t recommend La Pulperia De Paco highly enough

Craving the real flavors of Galicia? Pulpería Paco is the place to be!
A legendary spot in Salamanca where tradition and flavor come together perfectly.
Authentic Galician octopus — tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection.
Simple, cozy atmosphere — no frills, just great food and a welcoming vibe.
Classic dishes done right — from pulpo a la gallega to delicious cachelos (potatoes).
✨ Honest, homemade flavors — like a trip to a Galician village without leaving Salamanca.
♂️ Friendly and fast service — you’ll feel right at home.
Excellent prices — top quality at a very fair cost.
What to eat?
Definitely the pulpo a feira — it’s the star of the show! Pair it with a good Albariño wine and you’re all set.

Octopus was fine, but not as good as some people had told me. Fast service and affordable prices.

One of the best seafood restaurants I have EVER been too! There are some restaurants you will never forget and if you love seafood, Pulperia de Paco is one of them. The Pulpo (octopus) with potatoes is the signature dish. The restaurant has an extensive menu and you will be spoilt for choice. One thing you are guaranteed is fresh seafood cooked to perfection. Rather suprisingly the menu had a large selection of desserts. When in Salamanca Pulperia de Paco is a must visit!

Easily the freshest, best value seafood in Salamanca. The staff is a sight to see, well coordinated. We went here multiple nights during our stay and consistent. Highly recommend and good knowing places to eat like this still exist. People want quality and reasonable prices with efficient competent service, that’s what you get here. A wide ranging menu to satisfy everyone in a group or even a fun place to have a date night meal.

Fabulous no 1 favourite opposite the train station. Always packed: legend has it that they turnover double the next in the list. Try octopus with potatos, prawns, seasoned battered dogfish (cazon) and cheesecake. Service is brisk, atmosphere local, noisy and very casual (high tables).

Scam Alert: be careful, they overcharge on the bill. Make sure your order is correct when you order and double check the bill (Their menu and prices are written in the way to confuse you). We end up paying 40€ instead of 20€. Other than that, the food is good.

Very rude waiters, no glasses, no knifes no nothing. Food whise the octopus was so so hard, unedible.
