A secret gem hidden in Aravaca, excellent food, great atmosphere, amazing experience. We tried the “croquetas” to start, and then I had the Ceviche (fantastic) and my wife the meat “carne madurada” absolutely perfect. and piña asada for dessert We’ll come back very often…

Absolutely loved the place! Our server spoke fluent english, he obviously loved his job, served the food with such a passion you don't see every day. The food was AMAZING! Got the daily menu, very reasonably priced, super tasty internationally influenced food with a local twist. Atmosphere was very cozy and warm. Would wholeheartedly recommend!

Cozy little restaurant in Aravaca . Styled with so much love and so much care! The service is a bit slow but extremely kind. The menu has so many options, quite pricey if you don’t choose the daily menu options but so much worth it for the quality of the product. Everything is fresh and so tasty! Kid friendly!! :)

We just had a gorgeous lunch at this place. The food was very delicious (unfortunately forgot to take pics), staff is friendly, the waitress speaks very good English. Toilette is clean, spacious, there is a diaper change station for babies. We were there with our 10 months old daughter, there is a big kid's corner. First restaurant in Madrid that had baby chairs Furniture is pretty, the menu is funny, it has a good touch of humour (only in Spanish, but the waiter can help). The food was looking and tasting perfect. I would highly recommend the place

Cute and cozy restaurant, with an incredibly priced menu del dia that is way too much delicious food for one person or one meal! Also has gluten free and lactose free options, and even gluten free bread!
