    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.

    Great food. Belly ribs and porterhouse were outstanding. Sides were delicious, though portions could be more generous for the price. The buttered greens were quite small for £6. Service was very warm and welcoming. Only feedback is regarding unavailable menu items. We tried to order several dishes that weren't available. It would be great if we got a rundown of everything unavailable as we were being seated so we could exclude them from our decision.
