"Thoroughly enjoyed the food at this bar which we stumbled upon on a walk. The tortilla with asparagus (eaten before a pic could be taken) had that great firm yet gooey texture. The croquetas were home made and tasty (4 to a serving). No complaints about the jamon and toast either. Extensive menu aside these. Looks like a small bar but there’s a bigger area also downstairs."

"Decent place to have a quick lunch and beer on the patio. Their menu of the day is pretty good, (few non Spanish dishes so a good variety) quickly served and staff are friendly. In the summer time this patio is probably really great!"
