What Customers Say
Uno de los mejores restaurantes en los que hemos estado. El servicio impecable, la comida estaba elaborada y muy buena y el lugar es muy agradable. Recalco el servicio porque hoy en día sentirse tan a gusto en un sitio es difícil.
Cuina amb molt de sabor i producte de qualitat. La crema era fina i reconfortant, les cloïsses amb una salsa espectacular per sucar-hi pa sense parar, i el plat amb d'orella de porc cruixent estava boníssim i molt ben equilibrat.
Ingredientes de calidad, cocina cuidadosa, atienden y entienden al cliente, cocineros que saludan y ven que tal han encajado sus platos a los comensales. Un precio mas que razonable.
