This restaurant recommended by our hotel. The waiter advised us what to choose from the menu which was in English. The pintxos were delicious , the tarta de queso -cheesecake- was also delicious (no calories of course) . They made us feel easy about being in a packed bar where no one spoke our language. Well worth the trip to... More

This was the last stop of our pintxos crawl and it did not disappoint! We ordered the Tarta de la queso, an obvious favorite among the locals. After it was baked, it was placed on the counter while it cooled. You could still see the top of the cake bubbling as it descended. Then when they've cooled a bit, they... More

Go to this place at the end of your pintxo crawl and have a slice of the cheesecake. It is quite simply the best cheesecake you will ever taste ! Forget the NY cheesecakes this one blows them away. Fantastic

Yes, it was the baked cheesecake that drew us there. It was deceptively light but don't be fooled, it's rich alright! Definitely worth dropping in for if in the area and a cheesecake fan. Service was attentive and friendly and there's an English menu if you don't feel up to working out the Spanish menu. Our lunch, a mix of... More

4 to 5 Stars for the cheesecake. The chorizo is smoked and cut up for you and they heat it up. It was smokes paprika and we used up all our bread soaking up all the juice from it, tasty. On the back road in old town.

After a night of tapas and bar hoping this is a great place to top it all off. The cheesecake is like no other. For the Americans in the crowd, this is not your typical NY style cheesecake. The staff was very nice and the manager appreciated our attempted Spanish.
