Square Meal review of Galicia:
At the far northern end of Portobello Road you’ll find Galicia, just off the Spanish & Portuguese enclave of Golborne Road. This is the real Spanish deal: elderly men lining the bar drinking glasses of Rioja, a windowless, dark-wood dining room behind, where tables are topped with starchy pink napery & large portions of classic tapas are served for low prices: octopus with paprika & olive oil, chorizo in red wine, deep-fried whitebait & garlic prawns. Main courses are as old-fashioned as the surroundings – hake with asparagus & prawns, entrecote flamed in brandy – with vegetable side orders served on doily-covered silver platters. ‘Truly great Spanish food,’ say some; ‘unbelievably bad’ say others. The authentic atmosphere & under-£20 wine list at least offer consolation.
