Everything we ordered was delicious, the meat pot is only available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, the seafood soup was delicious but it is small compared to the meat pot.

It's good, but they could improve on the presentation of the dishes, the food is delicious, but well presented would be great. The service is not very good, although they have a call button, they take a long time and they forget to write down what you ordered and of course you are left waiting for it to be delivered

The food was excellent, the service prompt, and the prices good. We sat outside, in the balcony, and the weather was just perfect. Had coffee with a house pastry afterwards. Great experience.
