We ate here twice, both times for an evening meal. Excellent service and the food was very well presented and generally well cooked. The bill for starters, mains and a bottle of wine was ~90 Euros, so, not cheap, but good value and about the same as we pay in the UK for a similar quality meal. Being critical, the... More

In a court yard down a back alley in sleepy Los Gigantes you will find a tiny little restaurant where you can eat the type of food you would have to spend at least a couple of hundred for in London. Fine dining under the stars, lovely girls offering attentive service, wonderful imaginitive food and beautiful wines. Yes it is... More

Each meal was great. Service was outstanding and the food was always a pleasant surprise. Each meal was better than the one before, so I don't think you could ever go wrong with this restaurant.

Luckily we managed to get a table here without booking, really glad we did because the food was excellent, even the bread basket was amazing! I had the fish of the day which was cooked well and my husband had the iberian pork ribs, which were really tasty. We shared a dessert of creme brulee which was again brilliant. The... More

A small restaurant furnished in lovely contemporary style. Friendly and knowledgeable service. All food is cooked to order therefore the service is paced and may seem a little slow, the food is well worth it. Three of us all had different dishes and three courses. The food was delicious, perfectly cooked, imaginative but with perfect flavour and texture combinations. Michelin... More

We have been going to this restaurant every year since it opened and it has always maintained its high quality standards. Yes, it is more expensive than other restaurants in Los Gigantes but you get what you pay for and if you are looking for imaginatively cooked food, attractively arranged and served then this is the place to go.

Food was nice, what lets this place down is the lack of atmosphere. Very cold and welcoming. Service was slow, choice on the menu limited. Would recommend if you like silent dining, and you are not on a budget.

This restaurant is by far the best in Los Gigantes. Worthy of a Michelin Star with quality menu and a good wine list. Food throughout the meal was faultless and patrons are well serve by two very pleasent and engaging waiting staff. Just a small blib when the last drops of a fine wine were poured in to the glass...

Beautiful food, understated restaurant, reasonable prices. Can't imagine why it has taken 7 years to find it.

Great meal in a very nice restaurant on Saturday night here in Los Gigantes. We have been here once before and enjoyed the experience so we decided to return. We went for the short menu which ended up at almost six courses. Lovely food which is thoughtfully prepared and superbly cooked. The ladies that run the front of house are... More
