“ Everything was amazing, and the staff was lovely and quick. Definitely worth the try, great spot located in a secluded Cabo de Gata ”
“ Great restaurant in a beautiful area, staff is friendly and the seafood is the best I've tried so far! A must, before hitting the amazing mountains of Capo de Gata. ”
“ Simply superb. Food is amazing and fresh. Black paella reached perfection with flavours and not soaked in ink. Boquerones fish fried is a must. The price is decent for location, but payments are in cash. A must! ”
“ Best toast with grilled eggplant I have ever eaten. Really delcious and good balanced. Very friendly staff, especially a waiter from Italy. Very pleasant place. ”
“ We hadn't booked but the lovely waitress seated us inside on our own, which still had a good view! We had the zucchini salad and the crispy toast (taco) with sardines both were extremely tasty! We shared the flat iron pork which also very good. The staff were friendly and the food came out quite quickly. The only downside was trying to pay, we ask 3 different staff 4 or 5 times. We understand they were busy but as we were paying cash it literally took seconds to do. It certainly wouldn't put me off returning though, that zucchini salad is worth it ”
