About Placentines
Placentines sits right in the thick of things in santa-cruz, practically spitting distance from the cathedral. It’s a popular spot, pulling in a 4.2-star rating from nearly 2000 reviews, and people seem to stumble upon it while wandering around, which is how Magda Baglivo found it. Several reviewers mention the friendly service, with one even singling out a waitress who was particularly accommodating of dietary restrictions. The restaurant itself is pretty, and people call it a tranquil escape. You won't just find standard tapas here, but quality food - André Blanchette recommends the ham croquettes and sardine montaditos. Just be aware that while the main dishes get high praise, the desserts might not be homemade. They do offer a complimentary cream of whiskey, though, which is a nice touch. It's a place where you aren't treated like just another tourist, according to iago romero, which is a definite plus in such a central location.
