"A restaurant with an abundance of character, history and authenticity, plus a unique museum (Museo Redondo) teeming with works of art. This business, which first started out in the 1930s selling agricultural items and wines, is nowadays a classic address in the city. The traditional menu features dishes such as the popular Rioja-style braised snails, as well as hake with a velouté cream and peppers. We recommend booking a table in advance and enjoying an aperitif in the bar before moving on to the dining room." - Michelin Inspector

Not only was the ambience and the decor exquisite, but the food was out of this world. The snails, the Fillet, the Tortilla, and the meatballs were amazing. The tuna for starters was also very tasty. The deserts were great, esoecially the rice pudding and the cheesecake.

Originally a wine cellar turned to a beautiful restaurant, now you can experience local cuisine. Service was outstanding and food was delicious. Must try their fish pate and their perfectly cooked selection of meats. Fun fact, the green apples on every table are to keep away the evil eye!

What a beautiful restaurant with great food. I go to at least 4/5 restaurants per week across Spain and this is by far one (if not the) best meal I’ve had. Essentials: ENSALADILLA, ALMEJAS, RAVIOLI (Per unit), STEAK TARTAR. Place is ashtonishing and service top notch!!! I don’t do it often but here are my 5 stars

DO believe the hype. The decor, wine, food and service are each 10/10 and combined they create an incredible night. The staff were also great with our two year old and had a child seat for her, which isn’t as common as in the uk (the seat bit). The food is incredible, could’ve easily ordered quite little as the portions are big but the quality is 10/10. The chorizo tortilla is an absolute must.

Dining here is like having your food in an art installation. The ambiance is amazing with amazingly painted wine barrels The food And service match up to the decor and ambience. A must visit place if you are in Santander

Lovely venue for dinner, I recommend reserving a table ahead as there was a long queue throughout the night. Food was delicious and staff were friendly and spoke English. Would recommend the tomato salad , marinated(raw) prawns and fried calamari starters. The squids cooked in their ink for mains was delicious. Check out their daily special, it was clams and beans stew that night and it was lovely for the seafood inclined.

Oh my god! Done of the best food I've ever had. Everything we had was amazing! Brilliant balance of flavours in every dish. This place is famous for its ravioli (starter but you can order by the unit) which was unbelievable. The chargrilled peppers were superb. All mains were just delicious. Service was extremely pleasant and professional. Great value for money; 3 starters, 3 mains, 3 desserts, wine, beer and bread €140 😮 Highly recommended

On a Saturday, it was definitely a place to be - it was buzzing with people and a very cozy & lively vibe. I had a table at the bar area, and there’s a restaurant at the back. Had a few tapas, was a little confusion how service worked - some tables had a server, I ended up ordering at the bar itself. All the dishes were tasty, and good quality. The only downside was the speed of service, they seemed to forget some of the order, leading to waiting for over 45 minutes for my last tapas, having had to ask about it again.
