    Had a wonderful experience. The food was exceptional. We were a party of five, and we each ordered a different Tapas to share between us as a starters. Each was absolutely wonderful. The main courses were exquisite. I chose this daily suggestion, which was a succulent tuna steak, perfectly cooked and served. Afterwards, I chose the dessert of the day which was a chocolate mousse with grilled nuts on top. Julienne was our waiter, who was incredibly friendly, charming, & efficient. I definitely recommend this place 100%.

    Txirimiri is THE restaurant to eat at if you're in the area. The chef is incredible, the ingredients are excellent, and the waiter is very attentive. We go there as often as we can because the welcome is warm and we always have a delightful time. Go once, and you'll be hooked. Cécile and Stéphane
