We tried the rice with lobster recommended by the waiter, out of 10, an incredibly intense and good flavor. Soupy rice, salad to share, drinks and coffees, € 24 per person. We will enjoy that rice again as soon as we can. The inviting cold starter from the house delicious.

Fantastic experience: Catalan cuisine restaurant, the food is homemade and they have a variety of different dishes, both meat, fish and gold starters. We have gone on a Sunday and you can see the stress involved, but although they take a little while to serve you, I consider that it is normal, in addition you are having a mouth for the next dish ... As the saying goes ... The good thing is waiting !! Delicious food and very friendly and attentive treatment, I recommend you go!
