A very popular and well reviewed restaurant but not to my liking or maybe an off night in the kitchen. The baby calf was chewy, the fish not appealing, every dish was drowned with salt, it was the only flavour you could taste. I probably drink 1.5 liters of water after dinner. The restaurant decor was warm and inviting.

It used to be a very good restaurant but sadly the food quality and quantity went down. The "fabada" Bean stew was more like a soup, the "lacon con grelos" Boiled gammon with kale was salty and tasteless. For pudding the peach cheesecake wasn't homemade but supermarket quality. Really disappointed.

Incredibly cozy and loving restaurant. Starting from the ambience of the restaurant, which is very inviting and lovingly decorated, to the staff, which despite lack of Spanish knowledge on my part, fulfilled all my wishes. And finally, the excellent fresh dishes that I can recommend to everyone. I will come again.

Great decor and atmosphere along with attentive service and fantastic food make this a great choice!  The crab Croquetas and the Galician style Pulpo are simply amazing.  The Lamb and Secreto perfectly cooked.  Portion sizes are on the large side...  Not the cheapest restaurant in town but well worth the price, which is very reasonable for the quality of food and service.
