“ Menu of the day at 12€ even on Saturday, you can pick any plates you like and I got both seafood! Was initially worried about the 4.0 stars only but this deserves 5, fantastic. Octopus was great and the mussels as well. Included drink, dessert and cafe ”
“ Why is the rating so low for this place? I think it’s a fantastic place, I ordered Menú del día, and the dish with baby eel, octopus, scrambled eggs…it’s delicious! Definitely worth the money. Definitely recommend. ”
“ Dinner was delicious. Enjoyed the mussels which were fresh and good. The veal was tasty. The portion was large enough to share. Very good value. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful. Overall, a very good meal. ”
“ It is a beautiful mistake! I came because I saw the rice seafood on the poster. None of them could speak English to me, so we tried to use cell translation. They told me rice seafood for two people and the portion was too much huge and refused to take the order. I told pls arrange any seafood or steak for one person. They gave me one plate of seafood. It was tasty and I felt full and wanted to pay the bill. They told me I still had hot pot (first plate was cold) .... I tried my best to finish it the hot plates. They charged me only euro20 for seafood so it was quite cheaper. If you love seafood, this is a good place to come! ”
“ Old restaurant family managed, with many tables inside and a few in the terrace. The menu del dia is insanely convenient: 11€ for 2 courses, including drink, dessert and coffee. We try the arroz con calamares, mussels, octopus with potatoes, a steak, two rounds of beers and all three then desserts available. Value for money ”
