    This restaurant was in the couverts dinner week, so i gave it a go…read more The food was excellent and the wine nice too. The host is a real spaniard, i think by the looks of him. He was welcoming and made some conversation. As a starter we had Plato variado de embutidos and vitello tonato, all sousage and dried ham. Very tasty. For main we had the paella, which was very tasty, but a bit fatty. For dessert i had the copa amaretto, which indeed tasted of amaretto and the missus had the grand dessert. All in all a very good experience and the price is right!

    I ate here tonight with a group of twelve teenagers, which is probably the hardest group to please…read morewhen it comes to quality and quantity of food. We ordered a series of tapas with a focus on meat and potato dishes. Every dish was declared phenomenal by all party members (including one low-carb and one gluten free eater) and the staff could not have been kinder. The waiter was always quick with a smile and the chef personally shook everyone's hands as we left. The absolute highlight, though, was the dessert. Every member ate two churros resting on a pillow of whipped cream, drizzled with strawberry sauce, sprinkled with powdered sugar, and stuffed full of warm, gooey chocolate. After eating one of the two, I shamelessly admit that I was tearing up because of the sheer quality of the food. I have never eaten a better churro and I doubt I ever will. Even better, my friend related this story to our waiter when he came by to collect our plates. He laughed for a moment, cleared the table, and returned less than five minutes later with two more beautiful churros on the house. He excused it by saying that they were leftovers, but they were both piping hot and clearly fresh. I was overwhelmed by his friendly nature and the wonderful dessert and found myself crying with happiness once more. I cannot recommend this place enough. I sincerely hope that more people visit and that each one of them tastes the churros.

    I was spending a couple of hours in Rotterdam simply because we had some time to kill and this was…read moreone of the first bars that caught my eye. Well, as a bar it was actually really really good. The bar tender was really friendly, and incredibly helpful. In fact he explained most of the menu to us, which is mostly tapas mind you, and more designed as nibbles, but it is also good if you are only looking for a small bite to eat (which was the case with us). Okay, the beer menu isn't huge, but it is does have some decent options available. However, not only was the soup really nice, but the staff were incredibly friendly.

    Bustling to the nines on a Friday night at 8 , so much so that our table was still occupied and we…read moredecided to start our bottle of red wine at the bar. The wine list is short but good and affordable, we started with a light red negro from Italy and followed that with a more deep and full bodied lost luggage, which will be my tip to order when you go there. The menu is filled with gourmet nibbles, we went for the mixed platter which they kindly adapted for my friend who was longing for some dutch cheese as he was soon to board a plane to Italy for work the coming months. It boasted steak with chimichurri cooked perfectly, mackerel salad a delight, pate, manchego and small pieces of bread to accompany it all. We were curious and two foodies and wine in abundance made for lobster roll delish! Gorgonzola with pear chutney ...yum...gamba croquettes and olives ...and there was still so much to taste but there was just no way we could manage...lethally enticing this place... The only way to get them a perfect score would be some veggy options on the menu and a broader winechoice...but for now a must visit for foodies in rdam .
