    Delicious and well-priced. The croquettes and the txuleta are highly recommended.

    A restaurant with a charming dining room and a lovely terrace. The service from the waitress was excellent, and the food was superb in both quantity and quality. The suckling lamb was spectacular. We'll definitely be back, thank you!

    The service was good, they were friendly, and the place is very nice. The only thing is, I think the menu is quite expensive for what we ate in relation to the quality, quantity, and price. I don't know what the set menu is like; it has very good reviews, but the menu seemed excessive. The lamb had more bone than meat, and then the side dishes... I don't know, the fries, for example, were few and super thin, like straws. I'll try the set menu another day to compare, but definitely not the à la carte menu. I'd rather go to other restaurants to pay that kind of bill. What a shame.
