Good food, but not excellent. Setting and service were really good, but I expected a bit more from the taste of the dishes.
The pumpkin soup was good, the salad and the monkfish rather „boring“. Same as almost all courses and dishes, the starters and mains could have benefited from a bit more pepper, salt, and spices.
It was decorated quite beautiful and the service/ staff was very nice. The price for the 5-course menu itself (56 EUR pp.) was fair, however the Drinks were expensive (Espresso 4.50 EUR).

This was the best restaurant that I have been to in a while. The service was fantastic and the food was absolutely excellent. The Chef goes to the local market every day and sets the menu. It was an absolutely phenomenal experience. I’m so thankful. My husband and I were so impressed and highly recommend this restaurant.

It was a beautiful restaurant with a nice view. The service was amazing so was the food too. The chef Marga Coll was here to present to us the first dish, she was very nice. In bonus, the menu is not expensive at all. I recommand the restaurant. We booked before coming.

The setting is great, service is kind and partially professional, food was not up to the required level. While the quality is great, there are important mistakes, that should not be made with such a rating. I think this restaurant might lose its michelin star soon.

It is so amazing to have people like this sharing their passion and great technique with you. I feel lucky I found this place and tasted local and fresh goods in such a lovely environment. Keep up the great work. ❤️
