Anna Casanovas 08/06/2018

Fantastic experience: IT IS A FAMILY COMPANY SINCE 1989. (ALREADY GOING WITH MY FATHER.). SPECIALIZED IN IBERIAN HAM, AND IBERIAN ASSORTMENTS. IT HAS A WIDE VARIETY OF STARTERS, IN GRILLED MEATS. THEY HAVE WINES, PENEDES, RÍAS BAJAS, PENEDES. (FOR ME, IT NEEDS MORE VARIATION OF WINES.). (AND CAVAS). GOOD MEAT, GRILLED. DESSERTS VARIATION. OBSERVATION: THIS IS FOR THOSE WHO CRITICIZE THAT IT IS NOT A RESTAURANT, AND ONLY A TASCA OF A VILLAGE. MANY TIMES I LOSE BEING IN A VILLAGE LIKE THIS AND FEELING LIKE, IN FAMILY AND GREAT. AND NOT SO MANY PROTOCOLS, TO HELP YOU SIT, WHEN YOU FINISH A DISH WITH A BRUSH, PICK UP MY GUIDES. I AM A PERSON WHO I AM USED TO EVERYTHING AND THAT IS WHAT IS GOOD IN LIFE. AND BE ABLE TO GO TO THE KING OF THE GAMBA A TASCA AS SOME SAY, BUT EVERYTHING GOOD, GOOD CARE AND FEEL LIKE AT HOME, AND IN A WONDERFUL VILLAGE LIKE SAN FELIU DE GUIXOLS £ COSTA BRAVA). I PERSONALLY GIVE IT 5 STARS. AND I'LL GO AGAIN BECAUSE I'M VERY WELL. RECOMMENDED AT 100X100. AND LONG LIVE THE TASCAS DE PUEBLO DE SAN FELIU DE GUIXOLS.

Fantastic experience: This week twice at the "Ham King" - Recommended by our children and several friends. Champions were a must. Beef fillet excellent. The second night I could not resist the stuffed squid. Price performance optimal. When we come back next time, we are 100% there again. Speaking of percent - at the end, each time an excellent liqueur was served. See you next year with our children and grandchildren. We are looking forward to it already.
