I was seated at an intimate table beneath the stairs, which felt very cozy. There were a couple of other tables filled, some already eating while they watched a fútbol match on a mobile phone, and others still deciding what to have. The menu was a QR code that was nicely displayed on a small wooden box; I scanned it, and looked over the offerings. I ordered a vermut while I made up my mind, and ended up having Pluma Ibérica, which is a cut of Iberian pork, taken from the back, near to the neck. Pluma means feather in Spanish, The name of this selection comes from the shape of the cut; it comes to a point at one end, much like a feather. The meal was plated wonderfully, with zucchini, potato, carrot, and tomato on a small skewer, next to the wonderfully done pork. It was cooked just as it should be, seared on the outside, and medium rare on the inside, with salt flakes across the top. The flavor was perfect, and I had to force myself to take my time and enjoy every bite. The dessert menu had so many choices, many of which I had tried before, so I picked something new; the milhojas con mousse de chocolate y frutas rojas (mille-feuille with chocolate mousse and red berries). The flaky pastry was filled with a light chocolate mousse, covered in strawberries, with dark chocolate chips alongside. To say that it was heavenly would be a disservice to exactly how good it was. This is a great place to have a meal, and be treated like someone special.

It looked like it was more for the show. The bread was hard, cold and tasteless. We chose this place because it had tables outside and it was right on the Plaza Mayor. We just sat down where tables were available and it happened to be their restaurant. The sever did not come around to see how things were going. He had a very I don't care kind of attitude and stood far away from where he could at least act like he cared about the people he was waiting on. Avoid.

Altgough it's situated on the main square (u may think it's just a touristic restaurant) we loved the food that we found very creative and tasty ! We had the 22.5 euros menu and we were pleasantely surprise by the quality. Do not hesitate to eat inside, the room is nicely decorated. Very professional service and wine as well.
