I’ve been to this wonderful restaurant a few times, and love it!! The ambience, the decor, the service and obviously, the excellent food, make it stand out above other Spanish restaurants. But with its location being in the middle of a residential neighbourhood, you see a lot of locals eating there, and regularly coming back. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough; it’s extremely authentic and feels just like being back in the heart of Spain.

The food was absolutely delicious, every plate was tasty and we got quite a few items. There was a screaming toddler which made it a little less enjoyable but that’s not the restaurant’s fault. We were waiting a while to get the bill but other than that, it was lovely. Will definitely be coming back here
