Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Tomato salad with Tuna and Anchovies was fantastic, high quality product. Their bread is really really good as well. The Oxtail was fine, but a bit expensive (€29 for 3 small pieces, mostly bones of course, and a small scoop of plain rice), expected more, maybe richer sides. Still, overall experience was great, waiters de toda la vida. Beautiful place as well."
"Have been here a number of times for lunch and have never been disappointed. The chef is incredible and takes great pride in his craft. Hard to pick my favorite dish but am always impressed by the seafood. Very fresh and well presented."
"Great restaurant for locals. A bit expensive but amazing plates. They are former Michelin recommended place but it is good for them to quit."
"Superb food and friendly service. I let them decide and everything says great. The white asparagus is the best I've had. The meatballs were succulent and tasty. Highly recommended."
"Went there with local colleagues for a business dinner . Nice food , served as various dishes to share . Very good old Rioja wine . A long enjoyable evening."
"This charming restaurant has a deceptively plain-Jane exterior and an inside that is an colorful Iberian tile-lined bistro. The inventive kitchen is well paired with a larger-than-life host that immediately charmed us with his warmth. He soon offered an itresistable challenge: sure, we could simply order off the menu like mere mortals. Or we could put our trust in his hands and let him treat us to a barrage of delicacies while we sat back and simply enjoyed ourselves. Once we picked our bottle of wine, we let the master take over and had a truly memorable evening of traditional dishes made with fresh locally sourced seasonal vegetables, seafood, poultry and game."
"The best dining experience we had so far in Spain!!! While struggling with menu translation, the owner just sat with us, asked our likes and don’t likes, and made the order for us. So each meal was kind of a surprise :) and we were not disappointed, the food was heavenly delicious!!! Fresh shrimp and fish, and super tender lamb!!! Traditional interior and friendly attentive staff only enhanced our pleasant experience!"
"Always a great choice. All about quality product and not adorning it with unnecessary things."
