“ DEFO! This is definitely a must we had lunch here and it was brilliant. Small place but cosy and vibrant. We had the seafood paella. We are foodies and it was the best paella we have had and we have had a few. The service was fantastic friendly and attentive. Reasonably priced we are going back defo. ”

“ True to its name, this place feels just like a family restaurant. The portions may be a bit pricey, but they’re generous and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, and the service is friendly. Definitely recommend! ”
“ The lamb was superb – tender, juicy, and perfectly cooked. The mint sauce was exactly how it should be – fresh and full of flavor. Service and atmosphere were absolutely top-notch. For some reason, most people sit next door in the “canteen” style fast-food place, but this restaurant truly deserves the attention. Highly recommended – it has officially become my home restaurant for now! ”
“ We both had steak as our main course - sirloin and entrecote. Both were tender, cooked to perfection and of the best quality. The side dishes (potatoes and vegetables) were also very tasty. Beforehand, there was a greeting from the kitchen with olives, a little cheese and ham and finally a liqueur as a nightcap. The service was very friendly and courteous. And the fruit in the sangria would have been enough for a whole dessert! :-) Long story short: we'll be back! ”
“ Excellent local restaurant. Superb food and service. Owners were really friendly and made us felt really welcome. We had steak and seafood, and couldn't resist desserts. All were amazing. Will certainly return to try out the other dishes. ”
“ Had our last supper here before leaving for home. The three of us loved the menu. We shared the salmon which was sublime. My hubby had the beef stroganoff and ate the whole meal. Our waiter (owner) was great. Service outstanding, food outstanding, price outstanding. Five stars! This restaurant is my sister’s favorite and I can see why. Lucky gal gets to eat here when in Calahonda. Go it’s a must! The music in the background was exceptional!!! All classic rock n roll from the 70’s/80’s!! Rock on! ”
