Though the kitchen was formally closed, the staff filled our request for a snack as we had not eaten lunch. They prepared a beautiful array of cheeses, jamon, olives and pa amb tomaquat! Our dinner on the terrace was delightful. The open grill fire used to roast meats and fish gave a lovely hearth smell on a full moon night on the beautiful terrace. We enjoyed roasted local fish caught in the area, octopus done on the grill, and a delicious tarte tatin!

We went four weeks ago and found that the restaurant is under new management. My husband and I had salads to start which were really good and then we shared a large grilled fish. This was excellent and had been cooked on the wood stove adjacent to the outdoor seating area. Overall much much better than our previous experiences and we will return . Staff were excellent and in our view this restaurant should be much higher up the rankings based on our Last experience.

The menu has a selection of French, Italian, and Spanish dishes. The tuna tartar with avocado and caviar was amazing. I tried my day's aubergine ravioli, and my brother's duck confit, and both were excellent. They put a lot if care into each dish. It might be a little expensive for Spain, but not for the quality of the food. The service was very friendly.
