Every single one of high gastronmic quality and prepared superbly by Chef Marcano, who is personally very nice and spoke with us for several minutes. He also runs cooking classes! Prices very reasonable for this gastronomic quality. Leg of veal not to be missed!

When we got there at almost 9pm the restaurant was empty and I mean no customers not one. Usually when I see a place that deserted i din go in at all but we were a party of 6 and it was cold , so we decided to stay. First they bought us an appetizer on the house small portions but full of flavor excellent!!!, the we decided to share some more appetizers squid on his ink which was extremely well prepared and cooked and a foie gra that was also really good. So Far All plates exceeded our expectations, then 3 of us decided to order the signature dish of the house which was Ternera Blanca, a piece of the calf of the cow slow cooked for 54 hrs on a bed of a truffle mashed potato, let me tell you it did not disappoint. the other 3 companions ordered the tartare which was also excellent. They were serving us very good food and we were so happy to be there, service was very good and they were paying attention to all of our needs. Desert came and shared 4 of them the creme brulee was ok but the texturas the chocolate and the cheese cake made from manchego was out of this world. By the end they finished our memorable meal with a piece of round crepe with a cube of a guaba on top that exploded in our mouths as soon as you had the bite. The check came and it was a moderate price considering what just happened, I hihly recommend this place I am definitely going to visit the restaurant again for lunch before I leave to taste the bison and the corvina.
