The culinary offerings here are diverse and thoughtfully prepared, with a strong emphasis on classic Spanish favorites enhanced by creative variations.

Ha bajado mucho el nivel de la tortilla de patata, se salva por la gran variedad de tortillas rellenas que tienen, pero la básica con cebolla muy normalita. Precio normal/algo caro, pero para ser el G3 es aceptable.

Bar y restaurante muy recomendable. Tienen bocadillos, sándwiches, hamburguesas y raciones, destacando los revueltos (como el de gulas, gambas y salmón), el bocadillo de calamares o el sándwich de solomillo y vegetal. Precios muy correctos y local agradable.
