“ Restaurante acogedor, cálido, trato muy agradable, decorado con gusto y delicadeza. Platos sabrosos, se percibe en todos ellos que están hechos con esmero y mucho cariño. Todo lo que comimos estaba exquisito, nos cautivó el paladar, desde las ensaladas hasta los platos cocinados con productos ibéricos de la zona. Te hacen sentir único y los disfrutamos a lo grande. Gracias por ofrecer un servicio de tan alta calidad. Cenamos, comimos y volveremos pronto a degustar otros platos... Recomiendo reservar porque no es muy grande y suele estar completo. Acertarás 100% !!! ”

“ An excellent restaurant. The menu was extensive enough but still credibly restaurant originated. It was very well prepared by an obviously accomplished chef. The service navigated the fine line between being informative and not being over bearing. They were willing to make deviations from the menu which, was much appreciated. The chocolate truffle is to die for but do ask for it to be accompanied with a small glass of Pedro Ximénez. Five stars. ”
