We were hankering for simple food, well prepared, and this place just fit the bill. I ordered an omelette, a palm...heart and tomato salad (the salad includes two, or more, ingredients of your choice) and steamed potatoes. These were not in the menu but the very accommodating waitress said that would be no problem. I was presented with a perfectly steamed peeled whole potato and it was delicious.. My companion ordered a pizza (toppings of his choice) and he said it was very good too. I would visit again!.

Beautiful environment and very good service. A must, at least for a good breakfast.

My Spanish is not very good and google Translate has settled me. I ordered the 3 course. The first course was a small type of potato omelet, very tasty. The main course was the zapatillos rellanos. It was excellent! It reminded me of the stuffed paprika my mother used to make, but they stopped a round of zucchini. I changed from now on to zucchini. I'll try to do it when I get home. For Dessert, I ordered the ice option. I usually don't eat dessert and I was already full, but I ate the whole thing! I hope we'll make it back there while we're still here
