"We found this restaurant by chance on Google and the reviews convinced us to go. The food is amazing, really high standard and the service was outstanding.
Menu in English is available and the staff speaks English very well.
The restaurant was full with local people enjoying their Thursday lunch. We highly recommend it."
Donna Miki
"Honest, delicious food which is very good value. We had foie, clams, sea bream, sorbet and "pantxineta", a hug of a desert with warm pastry and pastry cream.
The fish was particularly good. Beautifully fresh and perfectly cooked. A destination
dish.
The room is very pleasant, opening on one side to a leafy square. Very probably a family restaurant who have been doing things right for many years. Bravo."
