"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

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!

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.

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

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

A terrific culinary experience. Phenomenal ambiance, service, and food. Our waiter, Juan Carlos, offered some fantastic recommendations, like the ensaladilla rusa. We probably wouldn’t have ordered it without his suggestion, and it ended up being the best one we’ve ever eaten. Everything was delightful, but I’ll also highlight the croquetas, cow’s tail raviolis and the flan. Can’t wait to visit again.

Beautiful interior, great service, the food was really nice. We had 2 drinks, 4 tapas + burrata salad and the tortillas were the best. Would love to come back for a longer experience. They have a separate space for reservations and for walk-ins, which works perfectly in my opinion.

Good tapas and good service. Chuletón tapa is tasty but not really tender. The rest all ok.
