Ideally situated in the historic centre of Granada, this little restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy superbly prepared food. We opted for the bluefin tuna (there were several options on the menu), which had such a delicious flavour and tender texture that it completely changed our opinion of this fish. The recommended wine and the little extra treats we were served were a huge plus and absolutely delicious tooIdéalement situé dans le centre historique de Grenade, ce petit restaurant est l'endroit parfait pour découvrir une cuisine très bien exécutée. Nous avons opté pour le thon rouge (plusieurs propositions au menu) d'un goût et d'une texture tendre qui nous a réconcilié avec ce poisson. Le vin conseillé et les petites surprises supplémentaires qui nous ont été servies sont un gros plus très bon aussiGoogle review · L.C. · verbatim | ||
