    Service is decent but not exceptional! Their specialty roasted pig is very moist, crispy and delicious! Squid we ordered was excellent as well.

    We ordered the signature dishes of roast lamb and suckling pig, the pig was just edible, the lamb was cremated but cold. We had ordered a nice bottle of wine so we enjoyed that and wrote the food off to experience. For a Saturday night the restaurant was empty, having suffered the food I can understand why.

    We travel to Madrid on yearly basis and are always looking for authentic environment with quality food. Today our expectations were exceeded with service. And the best tomato salad with al little oil and salt, cochinillo with potatoes and freshest melon for desert. For sure we’ll be back on our next trip!

    We went for the roasted suckling pig, which was excellent, but so was the other dishes. Roasted octopus, beef carpaccio as well as the refreshing gazpacho
