“ An exceptional dining experience from start to finish — the cocktails were superb, the artichokes divine, and the dessert perfection (they even remembered my request for extra crumble!). A genuine 10/10 family-run restaurant with wonderful attention to detail — not to be missed. ”

“ We visited this lovely restaurant for a quick salad in the afternoon, and it was a delightful experience. The place is beautifully adorned with flowers and greenery, creating a serene and refreshing atmosphere. The salad was fresh and satisfying, though it was a bit small and quite expensive. Despite this, the ambiance and lush surroundings made for a pleasant and relaxing break. Recommended for a peaceful meal, though be mindful of the portion sizes. ”

“ If you like refined cuisine, then this restaurant is the place to be on the Plaza de la Flores. A bit more expensive, but worthwile. Very nice decoration, especially liked the beige and blue/green handmade Moroccan tiles. ”

“ We have been to this restaurant twice. On the first evening we arrived relatively late and happened to choose a place where the kitchen was still open. We enjoyed ourselves and decided to come the next day as well and taste other foods. All in all, this is a perfectly fine restaurant, but not a place worth coming to two nights in a row. There are here and there problems with the service, they wanted to push us a different wine than the one we ordered, the waiters occasionally forget what you asked for, the printed bill is illegible, but overall a good and recommended place ”

“ We have just had a culinary experience that is up there with the best of the best. Each and every dish is special and a taste sensation. The cheese board for desert was fantastic. Juan Camilo and Daniel attended to us and were both fantastic. All in all, it was a wonderful experience, and the price €116 was really cheap for what we had. Look at this Irish coffee !!
