What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
La Cupula Restaurant is lauded for its exceptional fine dining experience, with guests frequently praising the innovative fusion cuisine, impeccable service, and elegant ambiance. The tasting menu with wine pairings is a recurring highlight. However, some diners have noted occasional inconsistencies in flavor and texture, and a few found the atmosphere a bit too quiet.
"Our dinner here was incredible! We opted for the tasting menu with wine pairing for a birthday celebration, and every dish was crafted with top-quality ingredients and tasted amazing. The wine pairings were perfect, enhancing each course beautifully. The staff made the evening feel extra special, even bringing out a candle with the dessert. The service and attention to detail were impeccable. Highly recommend for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion!"

"This was a lovely restaurant, with very attentive staff. I was even given a cushion to put my handbag on and a lovely rose to mark our wedding anniversary. It was quite quiet though, so not a lot of atmosphere. Also, even though every course was explained a menu detailing each course would have been helpful."
Samantha Flower
"An evening of mixed reactions. My partner had a food gras creme brûlé which was greatly enjoyed. Followed by poulet which was very good. I had the Canarian potatoes / on this case a fancy layered version covered in a cheese sauce. Nice enough but not worth 19 euros. The cherne fish though was a complete disappointment. Overcooked and dry with a bland white tasteless sauce.
Service was very attentive. Prices fair. Just a pity one of us loved their meal and the other was left very underwhelmed and disappointed."

Dine inside under chandeliers and in classic French style or outside on the pleasant terrace.
