    The meal was very good although the sauce on 4 of the dishes were the same (tomato). Would’ve been nice if a choice was offered. Staff welcoming and restaurant nice.

    This restaurant is the place to go on a Tuesday for lunch as the tapas are half price. We had a lovely selection bread, olives and salad , chorizo black pudding with red wine and honey, potatoes bravas and chicken with mozzarella to share they were all delicious. We also indulged in apple strudel which was devine to finish. We will be back!
