What a gem in Valencia. Get reservations here.  Everything was fantastic. I only had one dish, a tuna dish that was too
much meat for the plate, not my favorite. But the tuna was incredibly fresh and the flavors were spot on. The wine list, service, ambiance, and presentation deserve every bit of acclaim. Highly recommend.

As a former chef & sommelier, I must say this is a hidden gem! 💎 everything was so delicate, well-balanced and successfully executed. Outstanding wine list from the independent grower-producer to Rias Baixas limited cuvée to the Sherry for dessert. Lovely couple the chef & sommelier. Must reserve, the place is tiny & exclusive.

Simply Exceptional! The best meal we had in Spain.

The menu is beautifully designed and paced, with each course leading perfectly into the next. The stingray (skate) was superb but everything was excellent. The husband and wife who run it are wonderful.
