Luckily we booked and we all shared a tapas meal. We each chose 2 plates of Tapas, there were 8 of us inc a 10 yr old child of us. It was too much for us, but it was tasty and an excellent selection of meat, vegetariand and fish tapas. More

The atmosphere is perfect, a lovely feel of an authentic Spanish restaurant. The food is nothing short of perfect with a choice of some daily specials along with the normal menu. You are never...
