O Asesino is a laid-back classic of down-home Galician cooking across from the university. Dispel any fears you may have about this place, the name comes from an incident years ago when a chef raced out of the kitchen brandishing a knife when a live chicken that had escaped the cooker and seemed hell-bent on escaping the restaurant. A group of youngsters were eating at the time and began to yell “murder! murder!” Hence the name and a reputation that has drawn such notables as the intellectual Miguel de Unamuno and the playwright Valle Inclán. The empanada Gallega (which you will find cheap variations of vacuum-sealed in gas stations throughout Spain) is the pride of the house, along with the caldo Gallego (Galician soup) and almejas en salsa (sauced clams).
