This cozy spot offers excellent food and truly nice service. The wine selection is impressive, with something for every taste, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality provided. While the location leaves a bit to be desired, the overall experience more than makes up for it. A hidden gem worth seeking out!

The bread was dry and as tough as old boots, it stated wine with each course but we only had a wine with starter and main, the fish in the starters was minimal but saying that it tasted very nice, main would have been so much nicer served with some potatoes and the dessert was lovely although my father in law wasn't too impressed with the tiramisu, still we had a very pleasant afternoon

What a find! A recommendation from the waitress at El Serbal (Michelin one star) the previous evening. A fabulous place, amazing food, exceptional service, super wine pairing, and very affordable. A brilliant last evening for our short visit to Santander.

I spent 6 weeks in Santander and came here twice with different visitors. The food is fantastic, and the meals felt like a very special experience at an incredibly reasonable price. The staff were also excellent.

Had a fantastic meal here, meal of the day is a three course meal with wine included in the price €26 , service and quality of the food is very good. If you are a vegetarian then this is probably not the restaurant for you, if you’re a meat eater then you will love this place

The service was nice. We had the menu and everything was tasty, but the dessert (cheesecake) was really delicious. Good value for your money.

Food was very average. Not enough flavors in anything. I didn’t love it and didn’t like the wine paring either. I don’t know what the hype and reviews are about. This was a complete miss for our family.

We ordered mushroom rice and salmon ensaladilla for entrees, Langostino Canelon and Butter Entrecot (which costs extra) and a cheese platter and chocolate truffles for dessert. The starters where tasty, but they had one big issue, they have next to no protein, the rice had two small pieces of mushroom and the ensaladilla had almost no salmon. So what we got was really cream rice and potatoes with mayo. The mains were very small. The canelón was a double wrapped pasta with a bit of sauce and maybe one langostino inside. The entrecot was about 100 grams (and remember, they charge extra for this dish) and a bunch of fries you get from the supermarket frozen section. Again, a lot of carbs and very little protein. Finally dessert was ok, but once again it seems very limited. Cheese platter was 3 pieces of cheese with two tiny cubes of membrillo and the chocolate truffles where 3 small chocolates. Again, it was ok, but just ok. We had to go for more food afterwards.

This restaurant is situated in a small shopping precinct a couple of roads back from the main front. It is quite large and when only a few diners felt lacking in atmosphere. The service was attentive but rather too quick for us. The translated English menu dad a few inaccuracies and google translating the Spanish would have been better. Only offered the set menu so can’t comment on range of choice.

The food and service here was fantastic. Unfortunately we were there on a Monday night and it wasn't very busy - which is surprising because it is so good. We will be back whenever we revisit Santander. Great Value -Great Food - Great Service

An excellent high-end meal at a reasonable price ~27€/pp with extra wine. Great service. Good choices for each course. Everyone enjoyed their choices. The menu appropriately focuses on seafood and are generally modernized takes on classical dishes.

The service was excellent - especially the waiter who explained our wines to us. The food was a bit of a mixed bag - very rich - the set menu with the paired wine was good value.

Really lovely lunch and great value! Staff attentive without being over the top. On the English menu it wasn't explained that in addition to the fixed price menu, you could add two more glasses of wine ( total of 3, one fur each course) for an extra 6 euros. Luckily I had and understood the Spanish menu!

Fantastic food, each dish was really well thought out. The tasting menu had several tempting options at each stage so it was hard to pick. Everything we had was excellent. The matched wines were good too and worth the additional charge. Would happily visit this restaurant again.
