I can’t complain about anything! The price is so valuable compared to every restaurant in London. Gosh! Really great deal for a perfect steak meal."

"Fantastic busy atmosphere and patient staff. We had langoustines al ajillo and shared the entrecôte which were both absolutely delicious. Would 100% come again."
Anna Solomon
"As a seasoned traveller that spends many weekends across countries in Europe this is the worst lunch I have ever had in a restaurant.
The service was slow and took over 45 minutes to receive our first starter. I ordered a prime cut of steak - only to receive a small piece that was half gristle.
For someone passing through Santander I recommend not visiting this place."

Best Tapas Restaurants in Santander, Spain
A long-standing Santander restaurant serving exceptional flame-grilled food, Parrilla Brasas is a foodie gem. Lucky to snag a table outside (it helped that we arrived right when it opened), we stayed much longer than anticipated, ordering round after round of tapas. The must-try tapa at Brasas Grill is Pincho de Solomillo Iberico.
