We had consumed a ton of food during a lunch time food tour so we were looking for a light meal and their menu had a bit of everything (including breakfast), so we sat and got friendly and WARM service from Julio. Despite his very limited English, he was very helpful. My friend had a caprese salad that she devoured and I had a very large omelet that was solid! We then had their homemade FLAN. We made the mistake of just getting one.So we returned for dinner on our 2nd night...because we each wanted our own flan! This time, I had steak in a madera wine sauce that was served with a super creamy mashed sweet potato. Everything we ate here was solid. The prices were very reasonable. Nothing was disappointing. It's not at all touristy and it seemed like a place for locals. If that's the kind of place you're looking for, give this place a try...and order the flan.TIP: They will put toasted sliced baguettes on the table with an herb butter. If you eat it, you'll get charged for it (it's not free). But we ate it both nights because it's REALLY yummy bread.

I usually go to Bidou Diagonal and the waiters are professional and friendly. The environment is good. read more I usually go to Bidou Diagonal and the waiters are professional and friendly. The environment is good.
