Beautiful meal in cosy atmosphere* with great service. Menu choice was awesome and and loads of gluten free and dairy free options, all well marked up. The food is tapas with a Welsh twist, made of high quality ingredients, locally sourced where possible, with simple dishes made to high standard and presented beautifully. I had the bean stew, manchego, olives and bread, accompanied by a glass of delicious wine. I also tried the chocolate torte dessert which was amazingly GF/DF and was gorgeous. Second time I’ve been here, highly recommended. Reservations essential** as it’s a small place and always booked up. On value for money, my meal (3 x tapas dishes, 1 x dessert, 1 x large wine) came in at under £40. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<<< A couple of feedback points that didn’t affect my score: * the restaurant made a choice to have one artist playing on the stereo for the duration of my meal, and while I’m not totally averse to the occasional hit from Belle & Sebastian, they’re not my favourite band and the vibe was wearing pretty thin after an hour and a half. If it had been Coldplay on repeat I’d have skipped dessert, actually I might have skipped the meal but that just tells you how much I hate Coldplay ** the online booking system was a bit tricky to navigate. It wasn’t possible to select a table for one (I was travelling solo) and then when I did book, I started getting double reminder texts / emails. I’m still not sure whether I accidentally booked two tables or if the system glitched out with notifications.

Fantastic tapas and service. Caters extremely well for coeliacs also. Highly recommend, we had a fabulous meal 😁
