"This is the restaurant that I would ABSOLUTELY come back to. The grilled meat there is just fabulous. I had the Iberian secret (grilled Iberian pork) and it was perfect - the crust and the taste were out of this world. The portions are big, so I would recommend taking one steak for two people and some kind of a side dish. The prices are very affordable and reasonable to the food."

"Great restaurant if you miss that memorable Covid period. Here you can dine with your coat and scarf on as there’s no heating and be served by masked staff seated in individual polycarbonate booths for an intimate meal and drink red wine served at champagne temperatures"
