“ The food was tasty and the staff were friendly. We had a great time, but then a big group of around 30 people arrived and seated next to our table. After that, it became quite noisy. I booked in advance, so it would have been better if our table wasn't in the same room as the big group. Despite that, we still had an enjoyable evening overall. ”
“ The best food experience in years. The paella was to die for. The croquette was incredible. The leche fritta was like nothing I had ever tasted. They give you a tapa with your beverage to begin and a cold Greek coffee at the end. Beautiful touches. The staff were friendly, attentive and responsive. It was a fabulous experience and I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Thank you for a wonderful experience. ”
“ High quality fresh seafood, including Paella. We tried the normal as well as the black version which was better. Really friendly staff. Though we found the cod croquettes slightly soft inside. ”
“ I came here for lunch. The food was amazing, as you can see from the photos. I would like to mention the waiter Jesus, his service was excellent and he gave me free food and drink to taste! Incredible! Thank you so much! ”
“ Food was perfectly presented and cooked. Delicious, too. Service was effective, efficient but mechanical, with a smile. Very ‘on brand’ but formulaic. (It is part of a small chain) Sadly, ambience was zero. Rather like a museum cafe or university campus canteen. Has a bar level, upper level, lower level - All pretty much the same style. Outside at the back is a ‘garden’ with fake grass. I guess the most atmosphere would be found if you sat outside the front, on the pavement (sidewalk) Good value for money. Great food. Delicious wines. Although, they never offered a drinks or wine list. ”
“ Superb find in Granada! Our family of 4 visited for lunch and had a fantastic experience. We wish to say a big thank you to Pablo who’s attentive to all our needs and great advice on what to order. ”
“ Great food, brilliant service and the waitress went the extra mile with us, with free tapas, dessert drinks and three rounds of plate changes for the different courses. Highly recommend! ”
