The downstairs bar is typical of the area but upstairs is a simple, comfortable, restaurant area. The extensive vegetarian menu includes local dishes produced with vegetarian ingredients. Highly recommend for visiting vegetarians in Santander who are bored of picking meat out of the local cuisine!

Giving this restaurant four stars because it is one of two vegan options in Santander. The…read moreboquerones is a fantastic dish. Very tasty. For vegans that aren't fans of faux meats, many of the dishes do have them. My daughter got the soy stew, and didn't like the soy as it was too real of a meat texture. I found it very tasty. I really liked the croquettes. The seitan sausage dish was much too salty for me.

Always the same people working so it's a comfortable place to visit and have a conversation (as much as a struggle as it may be with the language barrier)!

When I walked inside I sat at the bar and it took forever to get the attention of the staff to get a table. I had questions about the menu and luckily one of the staff members spoke english and helped me pick out something. I came for lunch and they had a 2 course menu choice for 18-19 euros not including a drink (besides water) I got the sushi and the whitefish and potatoes (completely forgot what they called it) . The food was well done. The sushi was very fresh, soy sauce on the saltier side. The second dish was warm baked fish on cold potatoes and vegetables (called Lomo Merluza). The fish had a lot of flavor and the vegetables did not so it was a good medium in between. I also got a brownie and cafe con leche. The brownie was very rich and chocolatey. It had strawberry pieces on top that made my day. I honestly couldn't finish it because it was so rich. The food was filling and tasty but it was not worth the price (total came to 20,15). It wasn't mind blowing spectacular. I recommend but not if you're on a budget and maybe once in a blue moon.

They have organic beef, fish that they get fresh every morning from a market, and a really delicious-looking salad that I want to get next time that had quinoa and dried fruit (the energizer salad). Ordering was a little confusing, but that is only because I skipped the lesson on how to ask for a table and be seated in Spanish. Anyway, I managed. It is such a beautiful restaurant with lots of delicious dishes. I ordered some fish and it came with avocado and zucchini, and the water came in a glass bottle. This will be my go-to place for sure when I'm in Santander. It was a bit expensive (for me) - $21 total, but it was worth it.

My pick from the menu was the avocado salad, constructed on a base of some of the freshest greens including escarole and lamb's lettuce (canonigos in Spanish). This luscious bed of crunchy greens was topped with generous slices of avocado encircling a mound of queso fresco cubes and pine nuts, and the whole plate was drizzled with a vinaigrette made of honey and mustard. The salad greens were perfectly dressed, and the creamy avocado and queso fresco paired nicely with the earthy pine nuts and the crunch of the dried black olive powder sprinkled on top. We also tried the Piadina de Carpaccio, a hot flatbread sandwich stuffed with slices of pastrami, mesclun, melted Parmesan cheese, radish cream, and pumpkin seeds. The slices of beef were juicy and smokey, pairing perfectly with the unctuous melted cheese, the earthy pumpkin seeds, and the refreshing bite of the greens! There were so many other delicious-looking plates going by that I wish we could have tried (and photographed) even more dishes from the menu, but you simply can't go wrong with the selections here!

We came here on a whim without checking reviews first (very uncommon for us) but were surprised…read morewith how great our experience was, especially compared to the low reviews we saw afterwards! If you're set on ordering a super authentic Spanish meal, this would not be the place for you. With that being said, we thought the food was fantastic--I highly suggest the chicken curry and bacon burger--and the atmosphere was one of our favorites of our time in Spain. Kind of a farm chic feel (if that's even a thing). Great, cheap red wine and their desserts were to DIE for. I'm not even a dessert person, but order the dulce de leche crepe if you want your life forever changed. Also, I don't like cheesecake, but the Oreo cheesecake was a huge favorite among my family. They said it was their favorite cheesecake they've had in Spain and they've had several. For the most part, the servers spoke English and also had an English menu available, which were great bonuses for my family who doesn't speak much Spanish. The staff were not overly friendly, but they weren't difficult either. The bathrooms were super clean and functional. We loved our experience here and look forward to coming back!

This place was totally disappointing. As a vegan I was looking forward to gazpacho and hummus but…read morethe gazpacho was mediocre and the hummus was tasteless. Finally ordered the fruit salad for dessert and they were out. It was a weekend so the meal was prix fixe at €15 and they wouldn't budge even though I received only a tasteless fraction of what one would ordinarily get for that price. There are so many other wonderful restaurants in Bilbao so skip this one!

I highly recommend the codfish with Hollandaise sauce on bread, along with goat cheese and jam on bread. Paired with a glass of wine, and you've got yourself an incredible tasting experience.
