I really love the atmosphere of this restaurant—definitely a 10/10 for comfort. The Spanish fried rice remains a favorite; it’s flavorful and delicious. The food here feels authentic, almost like what you’d find in Spain. However, aside from the fried rice, the portion sizes for the other small dishes are relatively small.
Food was just amazing. All freshly made and cooked to perfection. Service was excellent. Will definitely come back and highly recommend this fantastic restaurant. We also had rośe wine, sizzling seafood and desserts but forgot to take pictures.
We visited here at the weekend and had a wonderful experience. The staff are all lovely, the venue is light and pleasant and the food delicious. I thought the prices were exceptionally great value and would definitely recommend visiting.
Had a lovely time at the restaurant. Amazing and friendly staff, the best food. It is clean and has a beautiful aesthetic. Food was served promptly. Had no issues at all! Would highly recommend :)
so yummyyy this place and amazing staff too
Lovely Spanish place, serving mostly small plates. They really understand the flavour of food, especially seafood (highly recommended). Great service as well.
???????????????????????????? here are truly to die for! They’re freshly homemade, fried to perfection, and served hot. The golden, crispy outside gives way to a soft and tender interior that melts in your mouth. They’re also less greasy compared to churros I’ve had at other places, where they felt like chewing on stones, this one is on a whole other level, honestly worthy of a Michelin star! And the ????????????????????????????? Equally incredible. I don’t know what magic they’re cooking, but their paellas especially the ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? are so good they made me question every paella I’ve ever eaten before. The flavors are rich, the rice is perfectly cooked, and it’s just a joy to eat. The staff were super friendly, and the restaurant is cozy enough to make you feel like you’re in Spain (minus the siesta). I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves authentic Spanish food. I can’t wait to go back again, it’s that good!
Very tasty food. Good wine and adjusted price. Also a mention to their padrón peppers,cooked to perfection, makes a world when eating them. I’m not a fan of included service charge on the bills, as service should be included, gratuity should be optional, no just saying to the tender please remove it as it could make everyone uncomfortable after a pleasant meal.. but that is a minor thing, as it happens everywhere. Nice place
