“ Great lunch. The seafood stew was knockout tasty. Friendly team, nice terrace. Would definitely visit again. ”
“ Been here twice. Totally recommend this place. Benjamin, Hugo, Nerea, and the chefs seriously understand service, efficiency & optimisation, and excellent food. The first time we came here was without a booking on a public holiday, fully booked but they still got us a table. They prioritised our food so we could maximise our time. The food is prepared with care and the waiters are super on the ball and friendly. The decor is simple, but the music is so well enjoyable, as is the wine & food. And the service is exactly right. Walked out of the Jordi Vila place and went straight here, zero regrets! ”
“ We had dinner here with my family and the service was great from start to finish! They are very quick and nice and the food is also very good. ”
“ You must stop here! A no frills, super friendly place that likely (& sadly) loses business to places that are just steps closer to the beach. Friendliest service ever & the paella was THE BEST on our trip to Spain. Among 7 people we shared a crazy good mixed seafood platter (app), whatever was fresh that day, 2 large mixed paella (we had leftover), & one yummy thin pizza for our non-seafood eater. It was a wonderful experience! ”
“ Incredible kind of terrace/restaurant just 100 metres from the beach, open air, cool, delicious. Mussels are the best I've eaten in my whole 48 years life, the sauce is out of this world. Rice's paella is one of a kind, we've tried the Arros negre, in English it's black rice, a paella type rice cooked with calamari ink, sublime!! Avocado with shrimps is the starter to dream for the next 2 month!!! Food is delicious, location is incredible, but service is just perfect, serious, gentle, respective, friendly. ”
