"Chef Tomás López truly delivered an explosion of flavors. Umami can be tricky to achieve, yet it was perfectly present in one of the dishes. The service was fantastic—a friendly hostess explained every detail on the plate. Sadly, I forgot to snap a picture of the pulpo, which was absolutely amazing. Then came dessert: fresh and full of flavor, with the creamiest chocolate mousse cake and cheesecake I’ve ever had. All in all, the price-quality ratio was spot on!"

"Great menu of the day! You can taste every ingredient named on the menu in the dish you order. We had the cream of wild mushroom soup and the Mexican taco with pulled bbq chicken as starters and then the baked cod with quinoa and vegetables. Very tasty carrot cake for dessert too.. a good-sized portion."
