We chose from the 7 main meals all involved fried foods. The staff were pleasant and helpful and spoke better English than they claimed! Sort of old fashioned cafe food with a Spanish twist my son had bacon, egg and chips with croquettes filled with cheese. I had fried hake, chips and a tomato salad and my husband had pork escalope, chips and coleslaw. With drinks 2 beers and an orange juice it came to 47 euros. It was fine but wouldn't rush back!

The place was busy but with tables that hadn’t bern cleared, with dirty plates and glasses piled up. The counter service was slow and unfriendly and the overall impression was one of not really caring about the visitors. Don’t bother.

We were pleasantly met by our waiter and in the grand old style, dressed in his finery to serve us as it has been done for decades. After some time perusing the menu we ordered and within a flash our food had arrived and we had our classic Spanish style Bacon and eggs with a side of patatas. Great food and great service. In the lovely cool air out on their terrace it was a great experience
