This French-Spanish fusion restaurant features a warm, rustic interior with wood and brick walls, creating a cozy farmhouse atmosphere. The space is divided into two areas: a bar section near the entrance and a dining area with a semi-open kitchen at the back. Dim lighting and candles add to the ambiance. The service is friendly, though at times the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed by the number of guests.
We ordered the Corvina salvaje, Salmón, Codorniz, and Mollejas, all of which were well-prepared. My favorites were the Salmón and Codorniz—the salmon was incredibly juicy, with a creamy yet refreshing sauce, while the quail was tender and infused with a balanced blend of curry spices, yogurt, and lemon. The Mollejas were also enjoyable, though I found the roasted radicchio overly bitter, lacking a sweet contrast to balance the flavor. For dessert, we had the Pavlova, which was decent but not as memorable as the main courses.
Overall, it was a unique dining experience, with a strong sense of style in both the decor and cuisine. The food was consistently high quality, though the pacing of service could have been better. The first two dishes arrived within minutes, but the next two took about 35 minutes, leaving us waiting for quite some time. Fortunately, the sourdough bread helped pass the time. At checkout, the waiter apologized for the delay and kindly waived the dessert charge, bringing our total to around 110 EUR, including drinks.
