“ The cheesecake was absolutely heavenly We also tried the Canonigo, which is an « île flottante ». Amazing ”
“ Love the atmosphere in here! The wait staff were super friendly. The meal was good but lacked veggies(my mom had serious issues with this). Desert was great and the small town feel of this place is to die for ”
“ What a great find! Sat outside on the bench style tables around the corner. Around the corner it may have been, but certainly not out of sight or mind. The service, even though only stopped for tapas and drinks, was spot on. The homemade (by the bar) Wild boar chorizo was spectacular! The jamón croquetas probably the best we’ve had outside our house, and the cheesecake with fig purée was ‘brutal’ in a very good way. Don’t miss this little gem of a place! ”
