"True grill restaurant, you can feel tasty smell of the meat 🥩 inside.
“Menu del dia” or carta to choose ( menu is €38 per person, wine 🍷 and bread 🥖 are included).
We tried Ribeye - delicious, almost 1 kg (for 2 persons it’s perfect).
The vegetables 🥗 were also good, artichokes and “borraja pil-pil “ we enjoyed as well 😋.
By the way, lots of vegetables from the own garden of the owner- it’s bio and grown with the heart ❤️.
2 dining rooms, practically open kitchen, you can see the cooking process a bit when you you the stairs.
Iñaki, the owner, is very friendly and attentive. Thank you for the perfect dinner we have 🫶❤️"

"I had the three course meal and it was amazing. Red bean stew to begin, then a delicious steak and fries. Finished with a dessert called "leche frida" which was like a really thick pudding. Fantastic meal and wonderful service."

"I am not sure why it is marked as cheap I rather found it expensive. Food was good but for a “cheap” restaurant I paid 25 Euro’s for very little food. Food was very good but my expectations where higher. However the waitress was really nice. Very fast service and indeed it fell quite homey :-)"
