Depois de ler um artigo sobre a oferta de tapas em Pontevedra na revista espanhola DeViajes tínhamos claro que queríamos comer na Plaza de la Leña ou muito perto. Tínhamos algumas referências mas todos estavam muito cheios e assim viémos dar ao Loaira. O espaço é simpático, pequeno e com uma sala no piso superior para além do mesas fora em plena praça.
After reading an article about "tapas" in Pontevedra in a Spanish magazine called DeViajes we had it clear that we wanted to eat at the Plaza de la Leña or very close. We had some references but all were very full and so we come to the Loaira. The space is nice, small and with a room upstairs in addition to the tables outside in the middle of the square.
Optámos por ficar dentro e junto ao balcão onde havia uma pequena "barra", só um de nós ia comer e por isso pedi a tempura de gambas que ao chegar obrigou-me a cancelar o polvo na grelha por ser já uma porção generosa. Ainda vi o referido polvo passar para uma mesa fora e deu-me vontade de ter mais tempo em Pontevedra para aqui voltar e prová-lo, segundo o empregado (que foi muito simpático) é uma das suas especialidades.
Gostei muito do Loaira, parece daquelas tascas de aldeia e depois saiem de uma apertada cozinha pratos com uma apresentação cuidada. Já dizia o ditado: nunca julgar um livro pela capa.
We chose to stay inside and next to the bar where there was a small "counter", only one of us would eat and so I asked tempura prawns to get that made mand as soon as it arrived I canceled the grilled octopus because it has a generous portion. Still, I saw that octopus (pulpo) go to a table outside and it made me want to have more time in Pontevedra to go back and taste it, according to the employee (who was very nice) is one of their specialties.
I really enjoyed the Loaira it seems one of those small village taverns and then some great dishes come out with a careful presentation. It's like they say: Never judge a book by its cover.

O tempura de gambas estava óptimo com uma massa estaladiça e um molho delicioso. Pedi uma sobremesa recomendada pelo empregado, algo tão simples como queijo creme com puré de maçã. Simples é um facto mas muito bom e foi o final perfeito para uma curta experiência no Loaira com vontade de voltar.
The prawns tempura was excellent with a crips crust and a delicious sauce. I ordered a dessert recommended by the employee, something as simple as cream cheese with apple sauce. Simple it's a fact but very good and it was the perfect end to a short experience in Loaira with a wish to return.
