A marvelous restaurant, with a young and enthusiastic team. If you are ever in Rodaquilar make a point of eating here. The appetiser was in the national colours dried tuna, cheese and smoked (I think) roe served with olives and almonds. We really really enjoyed sardine ahumada with tomato chutney, so fresh and original, bolleto and asparagus, and pork neck with crispy sage, followed by tuna that comprised both belly and muscle cooked on the grill. Postres were up there with the best, an apple suprise, of apples, a type of sweet potato, cucumber finely diced and ice cream. Also chocolate cake and lavender ice cream. Any breads you might have are all home made. This is amongst the best dining in the area.

What a gift for cabo de gata! the concept is all about high quality products, modern interpretations of typical spanish dishes and just great taste. Combined with a stylish and cosy style and an awesome choice of wines and great drinks - an absolute wonderful place. Not sure if the people that rated this place lower just didn’t understand what good food is about and that high quality has a price (especially the meat & fish were extraordinary) or maybe they didn‘t understand the concept of the menu… for me definitely one of the best places in the region!

One of the best dining experiences I had in a long time. Food: This place really is all about the produce. While the menu also represents mostly local dishes, it really gives them a new interpretation of how they can taste when you only select the best quality product. I let the chef pick what I should try, and there were things I would’ve definitely not picked myself if I’d only seen the menu and I was so happy I tried new things – simply everything here is delicious. My personal favorites: the anchovy cracker and the mango chili ice cream! Drinks: I was most surprised by the wine selection, because in this rural area I didn’t expect a local restaurant to have this great of a natural wine and pet nat selection. Again – the owner of the restaurant really puts his attention to every detail. I would recommend the Pet Nat Rosado! Atmosphere: The ambience is really inviting, almost as if a good friend invited you into their cosy but very stylish living room. Light concept is A+ and also the selection of tables, chairs, stools, natural materials on the counters… everything is just top-notch and really makes this whole fine-dining experience complete.
