"Solid 5 stars all around. The best restaurant we have been to in Colonia. The food had fresh ingredients. The octopus is beyond delicious. Please don't miss out if you are here. Great hospitable owner. High end service and food without the stuffiness and need for reservations. You will not regret coming here. Real taste of Spain sea food."

"A varied menu with plenty of delicious options. I opted for the pasta and it did not disappoint. Freshly made and tasty. The complementary bread was also yummy. The wine was also great and the service was outstanding. The prices are also very reasonable and the location is ideal. I can’t recommend this place enough!"

"The restaurant might be a bit difficult to find at first, but once you find it you’ll be in for a treat. From the start waiters were very friendly and accommodating and set up a table for me outdoors upon my request. Despite English being not their first language they did their best and we managed to communicate fine. The food was so delicious … I had the octopus which was fresh and also unique. The complimentary bread was a nice surprise."
