Great experience and a meal of ten

Oct 2023 • family

I didn't know this place and it was one of the best discoveries in Gijón, a restaurant with a renewed, modern feel, careful presentation and a ten-of-a-kind attention from the waitress and Sergio who were always attentive and it was appreciated. The food was an impeccable gastronomic experience, a top menu with powerful flavors in which the quality of the product and its preparation is evident, and the presentation does not leave anyone indifferent. 100% recommended and the "perfect excuse" to drop by Gijón.

DIFFERENT CUISINE

Dec 2023 • friends

Small place with beautiful decoration, friendly and professional service with a not very large menu of dishes to share, fusion cuisine and a small, average winery. Ideal for couples or small groups to order dishes in the center of the table. The price-quality ratio is quite good and it is a good place to eat differently.

More than meeting expectations!

Oct 2023 • family

Both the food and the desserts were incredible. We tried baos, croquettes, lasagna, gyozas and the trapantoro. Everything incredible. For desserts we chose white chocolate brownie, coulant and French toast, which was spectacular! The treatment is great and they explain the menu well. Furthermore, we went with a 5-year-old child and without asking him they gave him a plate of chips (great detail)! We will return for sure

Limited, flat and tasteless

Sept 2024 • couples

My wife and I went to lunch on Saturday, September 7. The kitchen closes at 15:30 the restaurant at 16:00. Some people tried to order a table to eat at about 15:00 but the waitress or attendant was trying to discourage them by telling them that by 16:00 they had to finish. I think it is a respectable company policy, I do not share it, but if you sell an exceptional or even good product you can succeed. It's not the case with the local. We ordered brioche, flavorless, flat. Then kibble, a little better but nothing otherworldly. Then bao bread stuffed with squirrels, just like that. Two desserts. The caramelized turkey, fine. Cheesecake, approved. A bottle of albariño and a 72€ coffee. I don't recommend it, schedule restrictions, rush to command, tasteless flat food.

Fraud

Jan 2024 • couples

We really wanted to go, but we were disappointed, when we ordered we asked To the girl who asked if what we had ordered was okay, she said yes, it was perfect…. They brought us the dishes without explaining anything when you saw that other tables did, the famous croquettes and their tacos taste the same... since we asked the girl she could have told us that we were going to eat the same thing in a different format... a lot of fame for what Which is... although another tall, very nice waiter explained what he was bringing to us... the girl wouldn't like us...

Rich but expensive and scarce.

Jun 2024 • family

Everything was very rich and very well presented but the rations are expensive and with few units. There were 3 and we touched a croquera, a bao and 4 pieces of meat, ordered wine and how we followed hungry a dessert for each which raised everything to 100€. Great treatment and said everything very rich but...expensive.

Delicious food and good service but a bit expensive

Nov 2023 • friends

Very friendly and attentive staff, good professionals. Regarding the food, well prepared, original and delicious, but it seems to us that you pay too much for what they offer. This does not mean that everything was good, but 20-25% above the price which in my opinion, having studied kitchen management and worked in hospitality for 10 years, should be marked, since we live in Asturias and not in Madrid. The quality product is not something exclusive and right now the dishes they offer on their menu are already widely seen in restaurants in the region.

Greasy food and fried smell

Dec 2023 • friends

Restaurant with dishes to share, usually greasy and overloaded. Of the desserts, the torrija was very good, highly recommended. The price is quite high for the type of food and service. However, the experience is remembered later for the intense smell of fried food in the place that permeates all the clothes.

Some more wine for next time please!!

Jun 2024 • couples

Third time I've been to dinner this time. For two we ordered Mini Brioche, Gyozas and Tiradito, all absolutely delicious. I highlight the contrast of gyozas and algae. Dessert, has separate mention, because torrija is the richest thing I have ever eaten in my life in the sweets section..., and believe me, I have eaten well... Good service and well advised, with bottle of rioja crianza wine, coffees and shots 42€ per person. Good. I have to put it because otherwise it wouldn't be me... in such a place, with such a letter... two references of Rioja? from the rest of D.O. there was very little too. A little originality in this section would be good, at least I would appreciate it. Congratulations.

Highly recommended

Jul 2024 • solo

Very very kind. The first thing to stand out. They have a rather short letter but it goes out of the ordinary. Cover fish and meat. I made 2 meals there, one was ripened cow with tuna and cheesecake. I fell a little short of the meat in quantity as the only dish but I supplemented it with the excellent cake, and ended up more than satisfied. The second day croquettes and cod, for dessert torrija. The croquettes despite winning prizes were not as expected although they were good. The cod very very good, and good quantity. The exceptional turkey. I will definitely come back to try their dishes

Great and fast attention. The place is small but very nice. The food was well priced, quality, presentation, flavor... We liked everything. We tried croquettes, baos, presa, and a brutal torrija for dessert. To repeat 🔝🔝🔝

Special tapas in Gijón

Aug 2024 • friends

It is a tapas place, but with a special touch. We share the Russian salad, the torreznos, the cannelloni, the tacos and the artichokes. All very good, especially the torreznos and tacos. We don't order dessert or coffee. The service was very friendly. It is better to book because the place is not very large.

Fantastic Original Tapas!

Oct 2021 • couples

Stumbled across this place by chance. Lovely atmosphere and great, friendly service. Food was phenominal - really imaginative tapas. Familiar enough to make ordering easy, but original to a point where you are enjoying something you didn't know you were missing out on!.

Experience of 10!

Dec 2024 • family

All exquisite and the treatment of the staff, the boy who attended us was very correct and friendly. We had a baby girl for a year and a half and even she liked all the food. To repeat certainly a pleasant surprise. The broken eggs of film!
