What a cozy place! My husband and I went today for the first time after living in the area for two years. Who knew we have been missing out on the best restaurant! Amazing, delicious food. Very nice staff! We will definitely be back.
After reading reviews I booked this restaurant for our first night in Fuengirola, it was a pleasant 20 minute walk from our apartment. It was worth it. We both had the set menu at €16.50. Three excellent courses with an added bonus of an amuse-bouche and the offer of a limoncello or cava, on the house, to complete the meal.
I would recommend booking as it was full when we arrived.
Great attentive service! Thank you.
Line 1 bus stops very near if you don’t fancy the walk!
Returned recently on Sunday evening after booking a table via email. ( fully booked & saw people turned away)Went for set menu at €17.50. Delicious crab amuse - bouche, salmon starter(€2 supplement) chicken kebab served with fries and salad and profiteroles. Complimentary glass of cava. Excellent service and again a well presented delicious meal. We will be back!
Thank you!
Another wonderful meal last night, one of the best value restaurants around for price and quality of food. I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation. It is a small place so you will need to book as it is always busy. Compliments to the chef / owner 5 star
