Quite a highly rated restaurant but i didn’t feel it was worth 5 stars. This is due to the menu being a lie. It says “para compartir” meaning to share yet the portion size is not even substantial for one person. They charge 18 euros for the dish above (pulpo). The pulpo came with some purple pure which I didn’t feel added to the dish and was quite a strange pairing. Pulpo is better served with lemon on its own. However, the scallops were cooked to perfection and the sweet potato pyre worked really well for that dish but again you cannot state they are mains to share. The lotus cheesecake is absolutely to die for and it’s genuinely the best one I’ve had in my entire life. It is not to be missed. Would come back but only for cheesecake. You can find better value for money elsewhere.

Full-filled our expectations. Modern cuisine, very well presented and explosion of flavors. Recommend the prawn croquette, vieira with sweet potato puree and the bao buns. Don’t forget to order their cheesecake, amazing. It’s a must-do. Also good service and well located. Good price quality.

Really incredible food, with lots of different choices and great quality. I loved my dinner and would 100% come back. We had the salmerjo de fresa and it blew our minds. You need to eat here, it will change your life.

It was an empty restaurant at 8.00 and full by 9. Don't be put off by this. Food was excellent. A fusion menu and all well served and good quality seasonal products. The waiter was fantastic he really went out of his way to help we had a gluten free and a vegetarian in the group. Also arranged a taxi lift home Was the best food experience we had in the area.

Absolutely amazing food and even better people! I highly recommend it, whether for a drink and a quick bite, or for a full on fancy dinner. We found it by chance during our holidays, and ended up going again and again, even though we lived in a different village. Will definitely visit again.

Situated just around the corner of the beach in an alley you will find something really different from the usual paella's and fried fish. Here you will have modern cuisine, surprising dishes and flavour combinations and fresh local products. It's great, bold and yummy and yes, its still in a good price range. Also, the owner, the staff, are very very friendly. And... Dog friendly!
