Traveler reviews
Naomi Mackenzie (TheBlueBean)
★★★★★4 months agoFood was amazing, lovely atmosphere and fantastic service! The croquettes are to die for and an absolute must try, they were one of our favourite things of the trip. Also tried the grilled vegetables with romesco, spanish omelette, and tapas portion of steak! Everything was absolutely delicious and loved the hot stone! Cannot recommend enough!

★★★★★2 months agoThe creamy rice with crispy duck and fried crunchy onions was, in one word, outstanding. The flavours were beautifully balanced and the texture combination was fantastic. I absolutely loved it. I also tried the traditional Spanish tortilla with potatoes and caramelised onions. It was very good as well, authentic and flavourful. That said, the rice dish completely stole the show and definitely overshadowed the tortilla for me. Highly recommended!
