“ Very nice daily menu here! The dessert is also good! ”
“ If you are visiting the hanging bridge, this restaurant is close to stop by and eat. The staff is very friendly. They do try there best to help translate if you do not speak the language. The staff was able to find one multi language menu that you can view. We really enjoyed the croquettes, calamari sandwhich, octopus, and the olives. ”
“ Great place to stop by for some pinxos and drinks. Waiter was very friendly. ”
“ We stopped here after walking the coastal path before crossing the bridge. We had the set menu, which was excellent value, consisting of 2 courses and a bottle of wine for €20 per person. I had a monkfish starter topped with ‘angulas’ ( baby eels) called ‘elvers’ in England, and grilled sea bream. My wife had a basque tuna stew and entrecôte & chips. The food and wine was absolutely superb, as was the service, the staff were very helpful and friendly. We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. ”
