We went for lunch because it was nearby and loved it. The set menu included a vegetable quiche and beef flank steak with potatoes. Delicious, and the dessert was spectacular: chocolate ice cream perfectly cooked, and panna cotta with nuts in the shape of a heart. We loved it so much that we went back for tapas: Russian salad and fried anchovies. The waiter remembered my husband's gluten intolerance and advised us, and he had breadsticks for celiacs. A lovely touch. Congratulations, I'm giving you Michelin stars!

Everything was great and the service was very good, they adapted the dishes to my intolerances (lactose and gluten), they have gluten-free bread spikes, although I hope that next time I will have a dessert that I can eat, thank you very much, I recommend them 👌

A charming place and super attentive treatment. I have celiac disease and our waiters (Jose, Toni and Rodrigo) kindly explained to us all the dishes I could eat and those they could adapt for me to eat. A complete success, very delicious and quality food!
