As quickly as the food came out that’s how quickly it was finished. My partner and I ate it within 10 minutes in complete silence and were so impressed with how amazing the food was. Looking forward to coming again and actually savouring the food next time.

From the tapas, appetizers and main course everything was delicious. We ordered some anchovies tapas, first time I tried them and they were spectacular. And what to say about the wine, we chose one on the recommendation of the waiter and it did not disappoint!
