Famous for

Egg Dish, Betanzos

Tortilla de Betanzos

Recommended by ABC.es and 11 other food critics.
"The Mesón O Pote has the merit of standing out with its excellence. With a great reputation at the local level, he achieved Spanish stardom in this art by winning the 2011 National Potato Tortilla Championship. In his recipe it seems that there are no too big secrets: poultry eggs with kennebec potatoes (the variety most produced in the area) in proportion of three for each and olive oil. It seems simple, but its fame is at the level of very few places across the country."

"The tortilla, which is how it should be, is made with the egg without curdling inside, with the crispy and large potatoes. It could almost be an egg and potato soup. I loved it."
"This establishment, founded in 1971 by the Gomez Crespo family, always enjoyed fame for its tortillas. Already on the table, when broken, the golden egg floods the dishes, preserving the qualities of the potato. Juicy."
"If you want to see the real masters of tortilla-making at work, then go to the legendary eateries of Mesón O Pote, whose tortillas are regularly lauded as the finest in Spain."
"A shaded alleyway led me down to Mesón O Pote, whose kitchen has won awards year after year for the best tortilla in town. My lunch consisted of an entire tortilla, a bowl of crusty Galician bread, and a glass of crisp Albariño wine. The jiggly tortilla arrived swimming in a goldenrod broth of beaten eggs, and was served with a small shovel to scoop up all the savory goodness. The verdict? Delicious."
"This peculiar tortilla is juicy, "undercooked" and very loose, so if that's how you like it, don't hesitate to visit this amazing place."
"With this presentation, the result is not surprising. And we love it. It is a creamy tortilla, very juicy, daring and with its own personality. They serve it freshly made after resting a few minutes."
"O'Pote is a great discovery for the perfect proportions of its recipe and the unbeatable flavor of an omelet. Very undone and extra juicy."
"The secret of Alberto's tortilla is that it is poorly curdled, has no onion and is made with eggs of the highest quality. Undoubtedly, this nationally and internationally awarded tortilla is a must for lovers of this ambassador dish of Spanish cuisine."
"After more than forty years in operation, Mesón O Pote is a reference of gastronomy in Betanzos. Increasingly known nationally for its potato omelette. Unique, juicy and for the vast majority appetizing."
