Cervecería Victoria (A Coruña)

As not too many people know (unless you for some reason love La Coruña), it’s hard to find good vegan food (let alone vegan food period) in La Coruña.

Cervecería Victoria pleasantly surprised me with their wide selection of vegan menu items and they even had a dedicated vegan menu! It is slightly pricey for the portion size, but most everything was delicious.

Ambiance:

Cervecería Victoria has an open, airy and modern space suited for casual meetings and hangouts. I liked that they had their song playlist displayed on their flat screen, since their song selection was actually great!

Croquetas de setas ostra (Oyster croquettes):

Similar to a hash brown but with various fillings inside, these particular croquettes had chopped oyster mushrooms inside and a slightly crispy/soft dough crust outside. These weren’t my favorite and cost like 1 euro each so I don’t think they are worth ordering.

Croquetas de setas (Mushroom croquettes)

As far as texture goes, these were far better than the sphere-shaped croquettes. They were crispier and I like that the mushrooms were kept whole before frying. The standout, though, was the garlic aioli sauce that was absolutely creamy, refreshing and paired perfectly with the croquettes. I actually ordered another helping to pour on the tacos we ordered later!

Passionfruit smoothie

Instead of the usual nestea or coke, I was able to order a passionfruit smoothie with oat milk and found it a nice departure. They also had chocolate as another choice.

Planta de oreo (Oreo dirt pie)

Not gonna lie, this was hands down my favorite dessert I’ve had in a long time. The oreo crumble hid a delicious, light and flan-like oatmilk based (I think) pudding underneath that contrasted perfectly with the cookies. The pudding was also subtly sweet, which I loved. I honestly wished I ordered three!

Tarta de abuela (Grandma pie)

This was my first time having tarta de abuela and I wasn’t disappointed. Though I like it less than the oreo dessert, I enjoyed it nonetheless. It is a higher sweetness level than the oreo one as well as being more dense in consistency.

Part I, Travel: Merry Spanish Omicron Christmas!

Traveling during COVID has become quite the hassle, as anyone who has done it can attest. I’ve now decided to include a necessary COVID survival post for anyone looking to travel in hopes it’ll make the trip just a little easier! As I mentioned before in my summer Spain post about travel, you must download […]

First Post-COVID-19 (ish) Spaincation! Part II: Llanes

Ah, Llanes: a place no tourist will probably ever go (and after our trip, me neither tbqh) or even know the existence of. Truly a town made for beachside ballyhoos, sunburned sangrias (or their fruitier, lighter local version called tinto de verano) and… not much else. Unlike the metropolitan vibe of Madrid, Llanes is much […]

Barcelona’s Top Vegan Eats

Croissants, tapas and espresso by the gallon – these three essential food groups summed up my magical week in Barcelona. Me and my sis Emily stayed at a B&B a few feet from the famous Las Ramblas shopping avenue and truly did not want to part ways with this classy city. No stranger to the […]

Closing 2016: Galician Food Tour

galicia food tour vegan chao

2016 has been quite the year for me. I moved out of my house, I lost my dog and, most importantly, I was able to reflect on the important things in life: like not taking our president-elect seriously. It’s only apropos that I ended the year in one of my favorite countries: Spain, far far away […]
