Having struggled to find somewhere to eat (especially with a baby) we, it has to be said, approached this restaurant with some intrepidation! Well we didn't need to worry the welcome we received was warm and the service continued to be fantastic from beginning to end. The food was lovely and we had a super night... Thank you!

If you are wanting Tapas, this is not the place to go. The food resembled spanish food you might get from a certain frozen supermarket!!!! expensive for what it was. owner seemed very grumpy !!! think he has lost the art of entertaining, we noted the for sale sign hanging above. Inside looked inviting and so laid back, exactly what... More

Nice little bistro, offers tapas, mexican and few other bits. My husbands Taco's were lovely, huge portion and good price my gumbo disappointing, lacked flavour and was little more than runny soup on white rice, not what I expected and at £14 over priced. Good wine list and fast service, friendly staff. Although just a mention they allow dogs and... More

If your idea of tapas is frozen garlic baguettes, cheap prawns dunked in a bit of butter and garlic, supermarket bought vine leaves and tasteless homous then this is the place for you! Can't believe how little thought and cheap ingredients went into our meal when it could have been so much better. Not convinced?-prawn dish was £6.95 which was... More

I liked the look of this as it looked like a little spanish tapas bar. The service was great, the food was good but I found it expensive compared to other similar restaurants - and being charged for a sprinkle of parmasen cheese is a bit of a cheek!

Love this little place - great find just off the main street. Been there a couple of times and keep going back! Very friendly staff, great food (especially the vine leaves - amazing!!), also try the chocolate sundae so good! Will keep on going back as lovely atmosphere and great food - what more could you want!

Great popular tapas restaurant and a great find for anyone staying in the Woolacombe area. Very friendly and attentive staff, with a great selection of tapas, main meals and deserts - has to be the brownie sundae! A little pricey but then what tapas isn't. Definitely worth a visit and don't forget to book in the high season. And try... More
