“ Food, atmosphere... service – excellent. The food was delicious; we tried the tapas, and with the tea came a sweet treat – a delightful English delicacy. When I ordered tea, I got a whole teapot, which is a big plus. The seating was comfortable, which is really important after a whole day of walking and sightseeing. The beer – great, and the food was fresh. On top of that, the staff was very friendly. Nothing to add, nothing to take away – 5 stars from me :) Highly recommend! ”
“ First time visit to meet a friend who is a regular. Once inside shown to our table, the restaurant is spacious, bright with beautiful tiling, lights and seating, it's very welcoming. Luvly chatty staff, we ordered our drinks while looking over the menu, and you select 3 courses for 18.95. Patatas braves, gambas picante, boquerones en vinagre (anchovies) pimiento padron, calameres frito, chorizo vino, to name some of our 9 dishes. All our food was delicious, freshly made and well presented. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and our food. Highly recommend this restaurant for food, There is a luvly downstairs area with a bar as well, ideal for large parties etc. We regularly holiday in Spain and njoy tapas, and I must admit our food here was on the same par as there. Highly Recommend a Visit here : ) :) ”
“ A bit surprised with the chorizo in the paella But we enjoyed the tapas experience so much. We ordered sangria, patatas bravas, croquetas de jamon y queso, chorizo al vino, calamares and gambas al pil pil. The last three dishes are our favourites so far. We ordered churros for pudding but no photo because they were so good that I completely forgot!! Best churros with thick hot chocolate that I tried in Scotland! The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere in the restaurant was lovely! ”
