## Common questions
**Do I need to book?**

Yes. Reservations are required for all meals — brunch, lunch, and dinner. Walk-ins aren't an option.

**What's the menu like?**

You can choose a set tasting menu (the Gatz menu gets specific praise from reviewers) or order à la carte. Vegetarian and organic options are available. Reviewers describe dishes as "different and elaborate" with fresh product.

**What's the atmosphere?**

Quiet, spacious, and intimate — it's a converted salt warehouse with high ceilings, exposed stone walls, and tables far enough apart that you're not in anyone else's conversation. Full by evening service on weekends.

**What's the price?**

€€€ (upscale). Reviewers note "buena calidad precio" — good value for the quality, but this isn't a budget option.

**How long does dinner take?**

Plan 2+ hours. This is a paced meal, not a quick dinner. Service times courses with intention.
