Shannon Sunday
"Excellent meal at a great price.
We had the set menu, which had starter main, dessert and quarter litre of wine, or half litre of water.
The set menu had some nice varied choices of menu.
Caution though, there is no English version of the menu, or French, though the waiter spoke good French. We were lucky to have someone who spoke Spanish in our party."
Sean Swales
"Had a wonderful experience in their taberna downstairs a few weeks back. The waitress was so nice and tapas delicious. Will be back next time for sure."

Free travel guide to Valladolid, Spain
A museum that specialises in the work of Renaissance sculptors Alonso Berruguete, Juan de Juni and Gregorio Fernández. If these names are familiar to almost every adult resident of Valladolid, it is because their work adorns some of the processionary images of Holy Week in the city, when they are paraded around the streets in an atmosphere of profound solemnity. There is much in the museum that is memorable, but the Sacrifice of Isaac by Berruguete, Juan de Juni's bust of St Anne, a study of age, weariness and worry, Alonso Cano's moody adolescent St John the Baptist, or the gore and bloodied knees of Gregorio Fernández's recumbent Christ are well worth a second visit.
