“ A (traditional) local restaurant with fantastic food. Everything I could see and the tings I ordered I can totally recommend - the taste is perfect. They do not have the typical fried (fast) food. But be aware, it can be packed. So a reservation is often necessary. ”

“ Hands down, the best Entrecote I've ever tasted! It was rich in natural flavors, expertly cooked to a perfect medium/medium-rare, and subtly enhanced with just a pinch of salt. Each bite was a delight with the meat being incredibly tender. The restaurant's ambiance was very authentic, featuring a cozy, inviting setting and exceptionally attentive and friendly service! Thank you for a great dining experience ”
“ Great octopus and friendly staff. Also big variety of Canaria wines ”
“ We thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. The highlight for me was the house wine and the calamari, squid, and prawns with sweet potatoes - WE ALL LOVED THIS DISH! It was rich and perfectly cooked. Perhaps ask the waiter to explain the dishes before ordering - my dad and sister were a bit disappointed with their food but mainly because they expected something different. The rest of us (5/7) loved it! My one critic - they served us bread we didn't ask for and then charged us for it - but perhaps this is more of a cultural difference. The experience felt authentic and the waiter was extremely accomodating and friendly. Ambiance was great and despite being quite busy, the tables feel very private. I would recommend booking a table before going. We loved our server and he was able to help us in English. ”
