This is a popular restaurant in a traditional setting, offering good value. We opted for traditional meals, cod and the lamb stew. More mainstream choices looked good too. The service was good and made us very welcome. The food was the focus rather than simple presentation. Wine was good value too. We would return.

Simply perfect, the food is regional bit they have a few quite good easy dishes. I had the steamed cabbage with meat which was divine.

First of all, it took them an hour to bring us the dishes. We ordered cod at La Charrete (21 euros) and it was cold inside because it had not been prop…

Super nice decorated restaurant. Simple food was a taste bomb. The service was wonderfully friendly. For the first time in a long time we were given time at restaurant to look at the menu and choose at our leisure!!!

A spectacular experience! The food is top, the pork cheeks were the best I've ever eaten (I ate one Friday for lunch and on Saturday we went back to dinner and again asked for cheeks), the boiled cabbage, the borrego, the black pork grill, all very good! The desserts are equally wonderful, some mad…
