Came for the paella and opted to try firdeua instead. It soaks up all the flavour, we were kinda meh in the beginning but the flavours grow on you the more you eat it. If they had given us lemon to squeeze over it, we would have loved it more.

Pork belly tacos, forgot to tell them no parsley or coriander 8/10 juicy. Succulent prawns but I likes the hummus below more 8/10. Lamb had a nice smokey char and flavours were on point. Lots of fat on the cap. Beautiful pink inside but mild gamey scent 7/10 love the veges!

Decent beef steak with good char. Tender pink but Hailey doesn't eat so pink they were very accommodating to grill a few pieces for her to be mid well done. 8/10 I ate all the patatas as they were good but regretted it after the main star arrived.

Seafood fideua, delicious layer of socarrat. They help scrape everything cleanly off at start so you can just focus on eating 9.5/10 for taste but 9/10 after your taste buds get numb to all the flavours towards end of dish. Reminds me of fried meesua but with umami of the sea. Their grilled pineapple and ice cream is delicious! Perfect to end the meal. It's drizzled with sago seeds and coconut cream 9/10

Tempted to try their suckling pig but it's a large portion so that's saved for another day.

Food was simply amazing. The Ceviche were great, sea bass tasted so wonderful with tortillas. The Seafood paella had a tinge of sourness and the rice was plump with the broth and juices. The garlic prawn with hummus was fragrant and together with the bread that was toasted perfectly where it retains the crunchiness in outer layer and softness in the inner layer.

To end off the meal, we had a charcoal pineapple dessert that was paired with coconut ice cream and sago. The dessert complement each other really well.

We had a really great celebration there and service was good. Highly recommended for the great food and atmosphere 😍

A nice little place that serves great food. Wait staff are attentive and communicative. But family with kids really up the noise and stress level in an otherwise quiet and relax place.  May be it will be better during weekdays. Went there in a Sunday, plenty of free surface parking.

Good Spanish restaurant! Good food, good wine. We ordered the dry-aged jamón ibérico. It comes with tasty tomato sauce. The combination is good. The bread is bite size, doesn't overpower the fragrance of the jamón.  The pork belly taco is good. I'm not a parsley and spicy person, but this taco don't have that strong parsley taste and the spiciness is just nice. Garlic prawn is tasty, prawn is big and sweet. Impulsively order the cochinillo suckling pig, against the staff recommendation that we have too much food, it turns out to be the best dish of the night. The skin is crispy and the meat is tender and juicy. You won't regard ording this. The last dish is the Squid ink paella, and end up bring back home more than half of it. The paella is generous with its ingredient. Last but not least, we had 2 bottle of wine. Their Spanish wine quality is good, most of them fro  the Toro region, north-west of Madrid. First one is Arbocala, strong blackcurrant full body, just good with the jamón. The second is Aldeasoña, also a full body, strong berry taste. I personally still like the Arbocala, in terms of price vs taste. Will visit again definitely for their desserts.

best dish was the grilled squid. tender and infused with the garlic oil. bikini sandwich was also good. lamb was tad tough and ceviche tasted abit weird. service was prompt and drinks was served within minutes of ordering. didn’t try the paella but worth a trip back to try.
