"Loved the vibe & style of this vermuteria and their vermut de la casa and selection of guildas made us come back multiple times during our stay in Santander 👌"

"Had my spoken Spanish 🇪🇸 been better, Vermuteria Solórzano would’ve been even more enjoyable! Obviously a very popular destination from the outset. Decent glasses of Mahou accompanied by olives in a slightly spicy oil/marinade. Mitada Rabas & patatas bravas were everything I hoped they’d be! Dry Vermouth was a new thing for this ‘dyed in the wool Yorkshireman’ & very pleasant it was too - sweet even though it was ‘dry’ & @ 15% it wasn’t going to kill me. Nice big ice cubes to make it cold. Solôrzano was so good that I went back on my second day in Santander!"

"I recently dined in. The fried squid was excellent—crispy, tender, and served hot and fast. The staff were friendly and even engaged me in conversation since I was dining alone. Although I had a small issue with my credit card payment, they handled it kindly. Despite being a vermuteria, most clients weren't having vermut. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I would recommend it."
