The walk from the bay to the city centre is amazing along the beautifully clean and scenic promenade. All in all a VERY enjoyable stay.

I'm visiting my daughter who lives in Santander. This was the end of my stay, so the two of us…read moredecided to go out for a nice dinner. This is a fantastic location with great views, but I recommend staying away from the restaurant side. Before our meal, the server walked around with an enormous tray of warm bread and said, "We start with bread here. Would you like some?" We had bread plates in front of us, and we accepted. The meal was delicious. When she brought the bill, it was hidden inside a closed book, and she also stood waiting for payment with the card payment machine in hand. I usually look over my bill, but due to it being higher end and inside the book, with her standing ready for payment, I would've felt awkward, so I paid. I later realized why they did that: once I saw my bill, I discovered we'd been charged for the chunks of bread (€5 each), and for an additional glass of wine. I've been to high end and very high end restaurants around the world, and I've never seen this before at such an establishment.

Was a beautiful view on this beautiful day! They have 2 restrooms, one in the dining room and one in the tavern (one person each). But the staff, saw the women group lining up, came by to let me know, there's more in the tavern side. Our food: Cesar Salad. Was so good! It also came Fresh Hake from Santander, served with tomato sauce, but instead olive oil. (I was given lots of oil on my plate, but the lady - well known world traveler - decided to exchange with mine Hake. We got the Local Cantebrian Dessert. See photos.

It's cleaner and larger, plus it has a little restaurant where you can grab pintxos. This is where the locals go...for a reason.

This place was recommended to me by a local friend. By first appearance it has a cool ambiance,…read morecool entrance, almost passed by the place. 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.

Based on Yelp reviews I looked for this place for lunch. They do a 3 course daily menu with lots of…read moreoptions to chose from or else they have an a la carte menu as well. The restaurant is fitted out very nicely but they don't have an outside seating area as it is away from the main promenade. The 3 course lunch comes in at 14Euro during the week, slightly more expensive on weekends. They also do have free wifi which was good as not one server spoke anything but Spanish. If you are an adventurous eater then that's not a problem, if you have allergies then you better translate what's on the menu. I went for a colourful salad as a starter, hake for my main and the waiter's recommendation for dessert: cheesecake. The salad was nice with lots of different leaves and veggies in it. The hake was nicely cooked but the courgette it was served with was cold and the potatoes were more like crisps. Cold and crunchy potato shavings. The dessert was my least favourite course, the cheesecake was very dry and didn't taste of anything really. The texture was very odd as if gelatine was added to it. Me no gusta. With a cortado and a glass of white wine my bill came to just over 17Euro which is too expensive for what it was.

They suggest small plates to share for the table but they also have proper dishes. Good salads with different dressings than just oils and vinegar. Small bites like Bocata de Calamares absolutely delicious. Lubina was awesome, well cooked, crusty skin, gorgeous. Desserts good but maybe not to the same level as the rest of the menu. The views to the beach and ocean are unique.

Outside the tables are too close one to another and is hard to stay into a good mood for lunch when the terrace is full.
