"Excellent Spanish cuisine, with a bit Asian element of cooking in tasting menu. Very delicious Iberian pork dishes, mixed with seafood . Worth a Michelin one-star recommendation. You definitely should visit here once you stayed in Granada."

"Amazing views! We have never eaten in a restaurant where there are landscape views to the left and right. Since it is very narrow (3-4 meters across), and the walls are glass, you are surrounded by the beauty of Granada. And the service was fantastic. Everyone was very attentive and friendly. The cuisine was extremely inventive, so if you are looking to be surprised and challenged, this restaurant might be for you. Every single dish was unique. Of note - if your Uber/taxi drops you off by dumpsters by a tall cement building, don’t fear, you are in the right place! Just circle around to the cement steps leading down, head around to the left, and the entrance to the elevator to the top floor is there."

"This restaurant offers a beautiful and carefully designed setting that immediately makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. The service was very good, with a friendly and attentive team that made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening.
The food was delicious, with a menu full of creative and innovative dishes that brought a fresh twist to traditional flavors. Every plate was thoughtfully presented and full of interesting combinations that worked perfectly together.
Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience. The balance between the lovely ambiance, the quality of the service, and the creativity in the food made it truly memorable. I would definitely come back to explore even more of their menu."
