I ordered goat cheese wrapped in bacon for my starter - it was served on green salad and tomatoes and was delicious. For main, I had lamb shanks which were perfectly done and served with vegetables, potato mash and chips. I finished my meal with sorbet and ice cream. The whole meal was 25 euros which is not bad considering the location. The restaurant itself is tiny, and the atmosphere was a bit cold at first, but it soon got much merrier when it got a bit busier. The waiter was helpful and spoke English which made it easier for us. They also have a good wine menu which is another plus. Overall, I can definitely recommend!
