Ate at Mexican place which looks identical to this place inside and is in the same street, wonder if they have changed the menu or if there are two restaurants with identical decoration inside. Cluster of restaurants in this area. It appeared a bit dirty with butter on a menu, but food tasted nice. More

The steaks were simply prepared and very well cooked. There was no pretense with the food, service or decor which meant you got exactly what you asked for at a reasonable price. More

If you want a good steak with no frills then this is the place for you. Meat is good quality and well cooked but remember to ask for it more well done than you might usually as rare equals almost raw! rest of food is ok but I would only recommend it for the steak. More

The food was good, staff friendly but lacked a bit atmosphere, perhaps because it was not so busy. More

The restaurant is located close to the central station. It's a good steakhouse not the cheapest but really good! The mixed-grill was really tasty with salad and french fries. The staff was quick and friendly. More

I echo what others have said about the tenderness of the beef. It was on par with some of the best top-tier restaurants I have eaten at. It was tender, flavorful, and perfectly grilled. That said, the basic filet dinner is not cheap (21.50 euros). It came with fries, salad, bread, and an assortment of sauces and olives. Be aware... More

Great food. At first sight the restaurant looks a bit 'cheap'. But they have the best meat ever and very fast also. We have been there for like 20 times and still the best meat ever. More
