Espectacular. En todos los sentidos. El propietario ha tenido un trato excelente. Divertido, cercano, atento y muy agradable. La comida de 10. Todo. Tanto menú como carta. Los postres (tartas de piña y de galleta con chocolate) para “rechuparse” los dedos. Hemos estado con perrita en la terraza. Sin duda repetiríamos (si no fuera por la distancia, somos de Gavà, Barcelona). 10000/10!

A great menu del día in the heart of chantada. The outdoor glassed in area is a bit hot in summer but the food is always delicious.

La atención tan pronto como entras por la puerta es amable y familiar. El servicio es rápido y la elaboración de los platos se nota que es casera, con recetas de toda la vida bien preparadas. El vino de la casa es espectacular y ofrecen una buena variedad de postres.
