We were a group of 8, they moved a few tables to accomodate us! The service was brilliant and food was excellent!! We had 10/11 different types of tapas and couldn’t fault a single thing! It was all fresh and delicious. We also wine which was lovely. Would highly reccomend and would absolutely return!

Well located in the heart of Ciutadella downtown, this local restaurant has a spacious outdoor terrace. They serve classic Spanish tapas and they were pretty good overall. The good thing is that the kitchen opens early (before noon) and they have high chairs for babys
