It's the perfect place to go for tapas and larger portions, and it's common to go for lunch or dinner with a cider house menu. The place is very pretty and has a lovely, traditional atmosphere. All their pintxos are delicious, but our favorites were the chorizo cooked in cider, the black pudding, and the txistorra.

Almost perfect. The small cake is a little too small…

Excellent, highly recommended! I was initially hesitant because of the negative reviews, but it turns out they're completely untrue. The service was incredibly friendly, the waitresses were super friendly, the atmosphere was perfect (a medieval feel), and the food was excellent. The price was also quite reasonable, and importantly, you can drink as much cider as you like. I'll definitely be back next time.
