Price incl. a couple of cokes and a coffee came to €41. A bit pricey but not extortionate.

The steak (solomillo) is, without doubt, the finest (and consistent quality) steak we have ever had. We were also lucky enough to get a reservation on boxing day Christmas menu was fabulous and the hosts are great people.

I've had the steak 5 times now when visiting parents and it is consistently amazing. Narrowly beaten by one I had in Mauritius but on consistency, I have to say it is the best the same every time. I also love the liver they do there but can never drag myself away from the steak.

This is quite a small bar/restaurant but has a typical and real Spanish feel to it despite the owners being from Switzerland. We got a really friendly reception from the staff and our meals were excellent. Unfortunately, having found the bar on the Saturday evening we found that it was closed on Sunday evening and all day Monday. This was not a problem to us since we accept that a small bar cannot be open 7 days per week. This did not stop us going back on the Tuesday evening for another meal. Thanks to the owners for a warm reception and good straightforward food.

The fillet is amazing and so tasty and you can have Rosti with it, which makes a nice change. Also I like it because once they run out of something, that's it, no freezer of meat etc.
