. The Manhattan Cafeteria oozes old-world charm. It’s great value with prompt, friendly service. The house red was excellent, and the coffee was pretty good too. We sat on the terrace and had no issues at all with service. We had the Manhattan Sandwich and a salad — both were fresh and delicious. Drinks came with complimentary tapas, which was a really nice touch you don’t see much anymore. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

Called here for a coffee with my wife whilst exploring A Corunia for a few hours off our cruise ship. We’d struggled to find a cafe along the front as most are in the backstreets and seem quite spread out. This place didn’t look too appealing to us (even with its big ‘cafeteria’ sign on the outside. We genuinely thought it was closed at first glance for a while as we could see any life. I thinking owing to the very dark windows and not being able to much inside ? However once we did decide to call in it’s quite charming and a classic style smart restaurant/coffee house. The guy at the bar was friendly and quick to serve us as we took a bar stool as we only wanted a coffee. They do have waiter service as well. We had a nice relaxing sit down and ordered a milky coffee as best we could in our translated Spanish/english. The man serving us understood fine and the coffee was spot on. We needed the loos as well which was the main reason for us stopping by if we’re honest. It was quiet inside, plenty of people at the tables eating too and the table staff looked very attentive. Maybe they could better advertise the place from the outside ? I think it was the dark windows that obviously hides the inside so visitors might easily give it a miss & not realise how nice it actually is inside. A very pleasant visit nonetheless the less for our short stay in A Coruna.

Best place ever: characters right and left. Is a challenge to pay... nobody seems to care. Waiters with uniform... anything can happen anytime... is not that the definition of life?

Few quiet restaurants and maybe the only vintage you can visit in Coruna. Dishes are delicious and come with a reasonable price, very delicious cocktails and the waitress are such a gentleman that it’s not easy to find nowadays. The location is so historical, the interior decoration feels like living in the 80s. Def recommend if you want to have a taste of old Spain or simply want to have a delicious meal that can solve hungriness while with a good service
