I had the American equivalent of a thin cut pork chop, bread and gravy, and hash browns. It was very tasty, the prices were good, and I would recommend this cafe to anyone else visiting Merida, Spain.

For starters I had berenjenas (sliced aubergine fried in a light batter, served with molasses and melted goats cheese—delicious. For main I had merluza a la romana (grilled hake) then flan and cream for pudding. And a large glass of red wine. If it had been a warmer evening I would have dined on the outside terrace overlooking the Roman Temple of Diana.

Lovely position, next to the Temple of Diana, but on a side street. The exterior is not imposing, and the prices reflect this. Very nice tapas, excellent vegetarian choices, good for meat eaters too. The portions are very generous. The staff are friendly and helpful. A relaxed and very pleasant lunch, great value for money. Tip- avoid the obviously tourist areas and seek out the smaller places. We were the only tourists here. Would certainly recommend this place, and we'll be back. Thank you

The sort of Spanish taperie restaurant that everyone looks for. Very near the Temple of Diana is an inexpensive restaurant. read more The sort of Spanish taperie restaurant that everyone looks for. Very near the Temple of Diana is an inexpensive restaurant.
