If you order one sangria but you are two, you suddenly get a jug for two. You are offered a number of menus, but the one outside is no longer there. Spanish not spoken, some excuse is trotted out. When ordering half a litre of white wine, we suddenly get a whole bottle. We ask whence the mistake, and are suddenly given a small bottle of 37.5cl. Settlement at all the tables around us reveals payment only by cash, as the payment terminal no longer works. We will never come back here again.

For starters we had scallops in a burnt onion sauce and soggy (and unsalted) chipirones. The fideuà that came afterwards was made with thick noodles (number 1) instead of the usual thin ones (number 0), also lacked salt, and was slightly burnt with black bits in it. Needless to say, we won 't be coming back.

Paella for two was dry, and I had the worst creme catalan ever tasted like it was made of milk and cornflour. Only good thing was the service which was pleasant and attentive.
