Pintxos met familie gegeten op een zondagmiddag in juli. Heerlijke gerechtjes om met elkaar te delen. Een “omrijd restaurant” voor desserts. We hadden heerlijke nagerechten. Heerlijk met een espresso! Aanrader om gezellig te eten én drinken

Lloc situat a la plaça del mercat, en un local molt agradable i amb uns plats molt bons (tapes, amanides, peix,…) amb bona presentació i personal agradable. Això si vaig trobar els plats una mica cars per la ració que ofereixen.

Nous avons été très bien reçus, les serveurs/serveuses sont tou-s-tes très souriante. Le service est excellent, les plats super bon, j’ai pris du porc basse cuisson avec du fromage de brebis et du poulpe et je me suis plus que régalé. Les plats sont hyper généreux ! Je recommande ce restaurant à 200%
