Apr 20,2025Good food, good price, cozy place, good service. As a main dish we ordered paella and beef stew, they were really delicious. But I recommend that arrive before 2 p.m. because ofc during lunch time the place gets very busy.

Mar 15,2025We came across this restaurant while we were out walking around. The food was excellent, the staff was very accommodating. We had a bit of a language barrier, but the gentleman waiting on us was very patient and polite. Seafood soup, meatballs and paella were very delicious.
