I have been going to this restaurant since 2001/2002 everytime i go in there i am greeted in a nice way by alvaro and the other staff there. I have never had any issues with the place the staff are always friendly and alvaro in particular likes to crack a joke or 2. The food here is always very well presented looks and tastes fresh and all at reasonable prices. Odd occasions where i havent been happy with the food it has been taken back and re-done for me no questions asked. They have a fine selection of wines which are very very good. Overall i would recommend the galicia restaurant to anybody who likes quality spanish tapas and main meals at reasonable prices.

Galicia is a hidden gem, having visited the galicia region in spain many times, i found the food to be authentic. the seafood is fresh and very well cooked and presented as is the varieties of fish which they serve, the differing cuts of meat that are served are alway's cooked to your specification. there is a very good wine list to choose from, and very reasonably priced, where else in the portobello area can you get a 3 course lunch for under £10, overall Galicia is a well run hospitable restaurant, you will alway's be made welcome by Alvaro the manager, and eduardo the co owner

Galicia is a fantastic restaurant. The food is great and very authentic, but the service lets this place down. When this place is busy the waiters go into selfish mode, ignoring customers, making mistakes on orders, failing to correct orders, over charging, and worst of all not saying sorry and making things right. Ego is no way to run a restaurant. Good value food though.

Galcia is one of the best resraurants iv'e ever been to in my life, most occasions me and my family go there. The food is real delicious. You are welcomed so well. If its someones birthday and you tell them, they will sing happy bithday to that person and give them a slice of cake.I would realy recommend this restaurant to everyone.

We have been going here for over 2 years now about once a month or so. It is a homestyle, family run restaurant, so if you fancy modern, flash decor and will moan if you dont get it, then dont go. Frankly we dont care what kind of chair we sit on, after all its the food we are paying for and that we are there for.

The food is delicious. We have basically tried everything at this stage, from tapas to mains. The wines are also very good and reasonable, especially the house Rioja. It is always busy and full of native Spanish. Yes there can be an air of chaos and there is one waiter there who seems to constantly be having a bad day but we just find him funny. Personally we prefer to order and to be served and after that we dont really want a cheesy waiter hanging from our table playing for tips. This place is great, believe me we would not keep going back if it wasnt. Give it a go.

I've been coming to this restaurant for 25 years and have never been disappointed. The Gambas Ajilio are always superb!
The thing is, it is really a local, truly authentic Spanish restaurant, not one of the jumped up, over priced, souless places full of trendy posers which are taking the heart and soul out of Portobello...
I cannot recommend it highly enough

I'd be really intruiged to ask those people who gave this restaurant such appalling reviews to explain exactly what they were expecting from somewhere that quite clearly does 'exactly what it says on the tin.' I went there on a Friday night with my Galician girlfriend and we were thrilled by its vim, vigour and vitality. The seafood tapas were straight from Billingsgate market, cooked perfectly and astonishingly well-priced; the wine was good value (for a Notting Hill eatery); the service was typically Spanish (i.e. efficient but with no strings attached); above all, the ambience was totally, authentically Galician and utterly refreshing. Go go go go go go go!

This restaurant must be a contender for the worst in London. I can only imagine that the good reviews I read amounted to nothing more than advertising, either that or the standard of restaurants has reached an all time low. It might be true that certain people like badly-cooked food and waiters that turn the stomach with their repulsive behaviour. To say this restaurant is bad is simply not enough. It is the most disgusting and dirty place I have ever eaten at. The authorities should close this place down. Eat here if you want to be poisoned!

Not bad. Hvae been a few times and have found it to be cosy.No lound music, no ponsy menue, no ponsy people, just a down to earth, decent spanisg tapas.

Other comments have mentioned the smoke and rude staff. I think the smoke adds character and the rudness is better than fake americanisation that is all to common these days.(ive never found it a problem)

also, booked a table for 25 people, most places were asking for deposits, set menues ect.there was none of that with this restaraunt, just "no problem".(ill let you know how thye meal was)

HORRID!

I was really shocked by the rudeness of the waiter - I found the place very unfriendly and our meal was pretty dreadful too. The fish was not fresh and the whole meal had a very greasy feel to it. The room was full of cigarette smoke (nice when eating!) If I had to some it up in 3 words: – YUCK – HORRIBLE – AVOID!

Edmund was correct. This restaurant is DISGUSTING!

Best restaurant in town. Food was great and not expensive at all. Definately recommend it!

The atmosphere was buzzing, suggest you book as it's always packed.

It's almost like being in Spain where everyone knows everyone. The staff there make you feel very welcome.

Great selection for tapas and on the main menu.

Definately going back!

DISGUSTING!

This is one of the worst restaurants in London!

They have not yet learnt how to cook!

The atmosphere is smokey and smells of grease. The waiters are rude and somewhat disgusting to behold.

This is supposed to be a cheap restaurant, however, my experience of it was very expensive!

If you eat here you will regret it.
