"I love the atmosphere of the restaurant. It’s very cozy a d welcoming. Really feel like dining in Spain. They have many seats but I highly recommend you to make a reservation especially on the weekend. The food is tasty.

"We had a very nice meal for a reasonable price. We had to wait for a pretty long time, but it was definitely worth the wait. Absolutely delicious! Only negative thing is that we paid over €6 for a basic bottle of water. The food was priced as it should be and tasted great."
