Lovely place and people ! We ordered 4 toasts, they were all delicious, and the service was very friendly. That was perfect to fill our stomachs before starting a hike !

Amazing place! We stopped there for a coffee before the hike and got great service! After 6 hours we were heading back during siesta and struggling to find something to eat. Ladies from the cafe made us a huge favour and gave us some snacks for take away despite the place being already closed. Very much appreciated!

Very friendly hostess serving delicious homestyle food. Good options for vegetarians, with the zucchini carpaccio particularly delicious. A relaxed and nutritious way to start the Cahorros hike!

We so enjoyed every part of the meal! For a small place and small kitchen, the variety and quality of the dishes is impressive. And the young woman who served us was very pleasant and extremely polite! An amazing place in an incredible location. Recommended!

Everything was great! We went in the morning to grab a coffee and some breakfast and then we returned after the hike to grab a beer. Amazing tapas, great atmosphere and both waitresses were super nice and friendly. Definitely worth a visit!

We so enjoyed every part of the meal! I will be replicating the Greek toast, with tzatziki and boquerones, a great combination that I have not seen before! For a small place and small kitchen, the variety and quality of the dishes is impressive. Recommended!
