"What. A. FIND! Kind and courteous bilingual staff. Chill atmosphere. Each plate was completely different than the one before. Everything was spectacularly prepared. Super interesting and reasonably priced wine list. The portions were more generous than the typical Michelin recommendations. Authentic and interesting local cuisine. Will definitely return and recommend to anyone who finds themselves in Cuenca."

"Amazing fusion restaurant in Cuenca. Great service, I think a starter and main is more than enough to feel full. We took tuna tartar, chop suye, lomitos and meat and it was delicious. Also cous cous desert is interesting, they have great vine choses and super interesting seaweed tea as appetizer. Must visit, book in advance"
