Without giving you time to look at the menu to choose the starters, they bring to your table the most expensive starter as a recommendation without mentioning the price, and you end up paying 15€ for a tiny cheese and some ham. Also ordered the 20€ dish of “Secretos of Pork” and got four tiny pieces of meat, some rice/beans and vegetables and never got the french fries that were supposed to be part of the dish. What a joke. Absolute ripoff and trap for tourists. Avoid.

My wife ordered the Lamb and it was perfect. The Veal was brought back and still was rare because the piece of meat was 5cm thick x 30cm x 50cm.

The meal was taken again and they cut it into strips to cook it enough, in the mean time my wife finished her dinner before I was able to begin eating my meal. Not impressed.

We were greeted at the door when we arrived and were thanked for our patronage on the way out. The food was excellent. Two of our group had the partridge which was tender and very flavourful. Another had veal steak which was done to perfection and the other had cod which was delicious. The presentation was beautiful. I strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a gourmet treat.
