Fantastic experience: I summarize elegance in restoration in two points. Service and product. They deserve the Google Maps score and in a good way, which is why we left the AP-7 to eat and get to know this charming castle. Service from 10, they made us feel at home even arriving to eat at 3pm. And product, praising it with their recipes above all. Daily menu for 16 euros with a glass of cava, house aperitif, water and wine included. The gastronomy of Gerona, caselana cuisine in its purest form to make the most demanding palates fall in love. Thanks for the deal ✌✌

Iker 04/04/2022

Fantastic experience: The best restaurant we have tried this week of vacation. They recommended a roast beef for 14-18 hours INCREDIBLE! Worthy of any Michelin (luckily, we have been able to taste the berasategi, arzak and akelarre) and this meat deserves to be found on the menu of any of the 3. Very good service, thanks to the "abi" who was in the room for recommending this delicious dish. The vegetable grill is also very good My girl very delighted with your choice. Rice and eggs. All super rich. Upstairs dining room super nice ... VERY RECOMMENDED SITE !!!

Fantastic experience: I was in the restaurant with my family and we were super comfortable, they treat you phenomenally. They had all kinds of details with my son who is 3 years old, so that he too could enjoy the moment. The food and wine were spectacular, excellent value for money. The space is from the fourteenth century, we were in a room with history and welcoming to the same type. I really liked everything, but what else, the treatment of the owner or manager and the Malaga waitress. You gave us a very pleasant time. Congratulations!

Fantastic experience: A place that makes a difference, for its successful atmosphere and for the food. Of those restaurants that strive to do things well and hit the mark. Personal recommendation: the octopus with mojo picón and the rice with senyoret of sypia and meat. Maybe a little expensive, but it makes up for everything else.

Included in the menu; it is not necessary to be two people .. Carpaccio cut by hand with an exotic avocado mix. Even the cheesecake was exquisite. And that is more difficult because it is a very trite dish .... Come to dinner a la carte and surprise your partner .. come at noon letter or menu sure appreciate the moment.
