Reviews

We dined here for dinner and I would highly recommend this restaurant. It has a romantic, old‑school atmosphere, and the food was excellent. The asparagus was a real surprise—the flakes of salt on top practically melted in your mouth. The sea bass (lubina) was very good, and the Crema Catalana is an absolute must‑have…
