Fantastic experience: Restaurant in the walled area with a beautiful terrace with a green roof. Superior food, with quality products and a creative spin, without losing the traditional spirit. Impeccable treatment of the waiters, they recommended wine and dishes, a success. Is the price high? Yes, but it's worth it, for the food, the views, and the service.

Nuri 148 04/04/2022

Fantastic experience: We made the lunch menu for € 26; They brought us an appetizer of delicious cod fritters while we waited for the first, very delicate escalivada cake with olive oil. Second, the seafood paella, exquisite, from afar and with a mask, you could smell the rice made properly. The dessert pleasantly surprised me with a basil yogurt, a combination that would never have occurred to me but that with honey and berries was great and very in tune with the Mediterranean landscape. All this on the beautiful terrace under the wisteria in the middle of the old villa, with first class service.

Fantastic experience: Restaurant in the heart of the walled city with a dreamy terrace. Views of the defense towers under a green roof of an almost hundred-year-old vine. A not very extensive menu but the dishes are tastefully done. The treatment, the truth that very good and pleasant. A very picturesque place that although it may seem to tourists, it leaves you with a very good taste of good cuisine, better views and a pleasant treatment.

Alberto Gámez 04/10/2021

Fantastic experience: The truth is that I have not had the pleasure of eating in this restaurant, but I wanted to give it 5 stars for its kindness. An unexpected storm caught us and it started to rain heavily. We went with children and waiters and the one who seemed responsible invited us to go inside the restaurant to protect ourselves from the rain. Not only us, but also the people who passed by. He finished the hall of the restaurant full of wet people and the waiters working as best they could, without pouting. We were there for a long time until it subsided. I said, I cannot rate the food, which from what I saw seemed very good, but the humanity of that team seems commendable. Someday I will return, and I hope I can eat there.

Simona Zaffaroni 04/10/2021

Fantastic experience: Fantastic menu with great and fresh choices. I particularly liked the pace, no rush at all, did not feel like leaving the chair to someone soon. And also a great dessert that I did not have before and that is yoghurt with basil and honey. So delicate and refreshing. The terraza offers amazing views.

Extensive menu in many languages ​​with fresh and very good food. Excellent service with kind and friendly waiters, Albert very open with customers of any nationality and is understood in any language, in my opinion the ideal waiter / owner of a restaurant. Great paella with exquisite seafood. Recommended for parties and groups, but also excellent for couples or alone. Go there if you are passing through this city

Wozki Kazahstan 04/05/2020

Fantastic experience: Family restaurant. We reserved a table on the same day of the visit, as we understood that the smaller and more popular the town, the more difficult it is to sit down for dinner. Especially in the historical area. The restaurant is located in a quiet part of the historic district. In fact, this is an old large medieval house, which now houses a restaurant and a souvenir shop below. The food is very tasty. There are menus in different languages. We took seabass cooked according to a special recipe, cod also cooked according to a special recipe. Everything is very delicious. The waiting time is approximately 30min. Keep in mind that there is no wi-fi, as we were told: “this is the Middle Ages and a castle, what kind of wi-fi”)))) Is logical. Enjoy food and views
