    It was okay, they brought us water twice and charged us 13€ for two bottles of tap water without us knowing the price

    Very good appetizers and Paella. You have to remember that to use the Fork reduction you have to take 1appetiserand 1 main dish or 1 main dish and a dessert. But with the Fork reduction is acceptable.

    The service is very friendly. The dishes could vary from savoury to plain. We didn't try paellas or arroces since it's castellano restaurant, but there are plenty on the menu and most people order them

    The food is amazing, besides the paella, which is already quite known for its quality, the Madrid-style tripes are an absolute must to try, they are spicy and tasteful and perfectly cooked. Service is accurate, one feels to be taken care of. I'll definitely come back again and I'll recommend everyone to go as well!

    Good taste, not much options. The paella has to be ordered in pairs, so if one of you order a paella it’s double price so it’s for share.

    This restaurant had all the right tools to be amazing! It was completely empty for the two hours we were there so the server was fully focused on our needs. The garlic prawns were amazing! So full of flavour however it was a very small portion. The Paella on the other hand was okay 7/10 found it weird that it had peas in it but overall amazing experience

    Food was scrumptious ! The chef was kind and he was passionate about his dishes. The waitresses were nice. We had two tapas (calamares and chorizo) that were excellent. Arroz negro to share which was delicious (the chef added olives to the dish that made it original and really good!). Good find and will come back soon to try other dishes :)

    Excellent paella! The tapas is a little pricey for the small quantity, but nevertheless tastes very good. Quality ingredients are used for every dish.

    The arroz negro (squid ink rice) was the star of our meal. It must have been 50% squid. We got a second "normal" paella because the kids weren't excited about eating black rice. In the end everyone loved it. The entire meal was great, but it is the arroz negro that will bring us back.

    Loved this restaurant! The food was extraordinary. The paellas looked amazing. We had lamb on a bed of lentils—wonderful choice. The starters, especially the chorizo with caramelised onions, were delicious. The friendly and helpful staff recommended an excellent wine to go with our meal. It’s very obvious this restaurant is run with great care—the chef came out to ask if we were enjoying our meal. The ambiance in the restaurant was very cosy with a view to the beautiful Schaerbeek town hall. We will definitely be coming back!

    We had a very good typical Spanish dinner. Good starters that take typical ingredients and are cooked with a special touch from the cook, with one of the best Sangria I have ever tried. Then a big paella for two people that could serve even more people. The environment is calm with nice Spanish music to get another touch of the culture. The service was fast and the staff was very kind. I totally recommend and will for sure come back.

    The restaurant is quite nice and has a small (open) space in the inner part. Personally, I found the internal space quite hot but I was a bit lucky to have a table right at the border of the open space, so it was not so bad. In any case, some air conditioning would help. Regarding the food, it was very good. I took a tortilla and a second (meat) dish both very tasty and well prepared. I would have liked to taste one of the different paellas but I was alone and paella portions are minimum for 2 persons. Overall, despite being too warm inside, definitely to go back!

    1 Paella, Tap Water & 1 glass of wine for a total of 61€ is WAY TO MUCH. Service was okay, the staff was nice but the chef was in a hurry and rushed our order even tho we were on time of our reservation. It was good but i'm not coming back.

    We truly recommend this place, the paella is just amazingly good. The Chief comes to check how we like the meal, very discreet. The decoration is Flamenco, warm Colors, you feel like in Spain. Tables are not too close to each other. The service is family style, not cold professional, quick and sympathetic.
