Superb experience! Hard to pinpoint which was better, if service or food, as both were outstanding. And they indeed have the best flan in the world.

Wow! Epic experience. Lingering lunch (they close for siesta at 17:00) left us happy and very satisfied. We didn’t have reservations, so we sat just outside on a bench to look for another restaurant when the waitress came out and asked us to wait five minutes for a table to clear. The rest was magical. Beautiful, lovely environment, quiet, wonderful staff, exceptional food and service, really lovely pace, and terrific wine. Highly highly highly recommend. Do not leave Salamanca without trying this place. I suggest reservations. We splurged on a bottle of Pintia, so the price per person is higher than normal. Enjoy!

Our server was responsive and steered us to excellent selections. The croquettes were exceptional and the wines and glassware were suitable for those who appreciate fine wine. Probably my favorite restaurant on this trip!

Incredible experience! From the bread to every single dish we tried, they were all spectacular. Even the olives from the appetizer are home made and the unique flavor is unbelievable! You’ve never tried anything like this. The “bonito”, the croquetas, the meatballs… everything was absolutely delicious!

This is an exceptional restaurant and one of our absolute favourites. Whenever we visit Salamanca, we make sure to visit and always have the set menu. The chef is truly creative, delivering unusual dishes that blow you away. This time it was a Japanese take on sweetbreads - amazing. The 'standards' like their award-winning croquettes are always amazing but every time we visit we discover something new. Add to this incredible service and excellent advice on wines and you get an unforgettable experience every time.
