We came for drinks and nibbles, ordering bread with local pate tapas and we really enjoyed our food. Staff also attentive and helpful but far from pushy. Would recommend this place for a less touristy option (English spoken by staff) with great food.

Fresh and delicious food. We ordered the Dorada plate and it’s a dream come true for those who love fish. You can order one for two people. read more Fresh and delicious food. We ordered the Dorada plate and it’s a dream come true for those who love fish. You can order one for two people.

When we refused to go in to his restaurant the waiter put his arm around me and accused me of being anti social. On walking past the restaurant later the waiter deliberately tried tripping me up. A nastier group of low life’s I’ve yet to come across. Really weird sinister vibe to the place and the staff are horrid lowlifes. Looking at the reviews I was clearly right to go with my gut.

We chose the restaurant because we were speaking with the waiter and we liked him. He was very helpful with the menu and attentive with his service throughout our time in the restaurant. Unfortunately, not all the food was good. We enjoyed the starters and the pastas but the other main dishes weren’t as good. The swordfish and salmon were mushy. The bones in the other fish we ordered were not as easy to remove as we were told they would be. With so many other restaurants in the area, we didn’t go back and had much better meals elsewhere.
