Good quality Traditional Spanish food, very well presented and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended. The staff is enthusiastic and gives good advice. Value for money.

From the moment one walks into this bar/restaurant one is struck my it's warm and friendly style. The front of house tapas bar is manned by a set of guys who practically fall over themselves to offer you delicious food and try their very best to find out just what it is you'd like to drink. If they can't understand your Spanish they'll try and find someone who speaks English. The restaurant in the back is traditional looking, but like the tapas bar it's full and bustling. You're never rushed and the food is wonderful. Definitely well worth a visit.
