    The owner's generosity & hospitality aside from their food's quality made our experience a memorable one.

    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

    Excellent place famous for its suckling pig which was really amazing. Totally worth the visit! The prices are very reasonable and the wine list is nice and fairly priced.

    Had the coconut hake and roasted suckling lamb. Both were good, but parts of the lamb leg slightly on the dry side. Would go back again.

    Our daughter chose Spain for a trip because she had loved the Cochinillo in Segovia last time we visited. Since we tried to visit other towns this trip I thought we could just have it in Madrid but it wasn't very good. Most of us didn't even eat any of it.

    My husband ordered the cochinillo and I ordered the grilled cod, both were cooked to perfection, in my humble opinion. The cochinillo was fall-off-the-bone tender and the fish was just right, not overcooked. I would recommend!

    the food was superb; the service was excellent; we want on a quiet, midweek night so there wasn't much atmosphere.

    I had the roast suckling pork as I chose this restaurant specifically for this. For 35 euros, the portion was mainly crispy skin and bones, and although nice, it was a bit of a rip off. I am comparing this to the Michelin star restaurant that I went in Segovia which served a bigger and a delicious portion for 31 euros! I was still hungry and had yogurt for dessert, which was refreshing.
