Chisco Jiménez's cociña-bar on Avenida de Arteixo, near Riazor: tripe and croquettes from his own workshop, dishes to share and a weekday set lunch.

Chisco Jiménez's cociña-bar
Culuca is chef Chisco Jiménez's place at Avenida de Arteixo, 10, in the centre of A Coruña, a short walk from Plaza de Pontevedra and the Riazor and Orzán beaches. It calls itself a cociña-bar (kitchen-bar): you eat at a table or at the bar, with well-treated meats and fish and small dishes to share and eat with your hands. The menu follows the season (mushrooms, game, spring vegetables, fish) and there is a selection of wines with someone to advise you.
The tripe and the croquettes, from their own workshop
What the house has made its own are the tripe (callos) and the croquettes. They are made by its own workshop, which also sells them under its label to other bars, restaurants and shops in the city and surrounding area. In the restaurant, the tripe comes as a tapa (€7) or a portion (€17), and the croquettes, made with roast chicken, at €2 each.
The menu with prices
Among the house classics are the Russian-style potato salad (ensaladilla; tapa, €6; portion, €13), the juicy potato omelette (mini, €6.50; large, €17), the braised shin cannelloni, a grilled aubergine with Sichuan sauce and the fried fish. For finger food, besides the croquettes, duck and leek pasties with Peking sauce, at €8 each.
In season there is fish rice with cockles (€25 per person, minimum two), boletus with fried egg, hare à la royale or the house pickled mussels. The raw and shellfish section brings frilly oyster from the Ría de Arousa, golden carpet shell clams in fino sherry, Carril cockles and steak tartare. For main courses, steamed hake or grilled sea bass, €24 to €28, and grilled meats at €24 to €26. Desserts cost €7: brioche torrija, lime cheesecake or pear in wine.
Sharing several tapas and a main course, reckon on about €35 to €45 per person without wine. On weekdays at midday there is a set lunch, with two courses, a drink, coffee and dessert; the website does not give its price.
Kitchen hours
At midday it opens every day, from 12:30 to 16:30, with the kitchen open until 15:45. In the evening it opens Tuesday to Saturday, from 19:30 to 23:30; the kitchen closes at 23:00 from Tuesday to Thursday and at 23:30 on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday and Monday evenings it is closed. Book on their website or on 981 97 88 98, especially at weekends.
Groups and takeaway
It has a private dining room and three group menus, at €37, €40 and €50 per person, and it prepares food to take away: the potato salad, the omelette or the cannelloni, and the tripe on Saturday and Sunday at midday.
After lunch, the Orzán surf school and the seafront bike ride start a few minutes' walk away.

Qué pedir: Culuca's tripe as a tapa, the potato salad and some roast chicken croquettes to share; then a fish or a grilled meat
