This is an amazing little restaurant in the town of Bakio.
The staff are so friendly, helpful and accommodating to customers.
My husband is Coelaic and so we normally just say no to the bread but they brought out some gluten free bread for him which was amazing!

The food is so tasty and presented very well. A lot of thought has gone into each dish and then menu.

The lady who runs front of house speaks good English and is helpful when deciding what to chose. And then the chef comes out to check all is ok and he is so friendly and nice!

We had a wonderful meal here and would definetly make a detour anytime we were in the area to visit again. Muchos gracias!
