The hostess got us a very nice table. We ordered a salmon salad and grilled octopus. Both were delicious and beautifully prepared. We selected a Leon white wine, it was also very good. For dessert we really enjoyed a mil hojas with madame cream. It was a great dinner.

The restaurant is at the 2nd floor: while the 1st one is for the pub and it's quite caothic, the restaurant is quiet, elegant and silent. We ordered some cheeses as a starter and then a main course of meat: everything was good. The dessert was, for me, the best course! We spent about 40 euros per person, but the dinner deserved the price! The waiters were fast very kind.

We shared a roast beef salad and a delicious mushroom risotto and then a superb “millefeuille”. The translations of the Spanish menu were “interesting”. I commented that it was quiet and José then told us that we were eating very early at 9pm and 11pm is the normal time for people to go to restaurants. Spot the tourists! Food and service were exceptional.
