It's not too noisy in here. They also serve a cheese platter and olives if you want to snack on something. Pricing wise, it was about 4-4.5 Euros for a glass of wine or ginga. I like that they will give you a taste before pouring you a full glass to make sure that you are happy with your choice. Keep in mind that they only accept cash.

The restaurant is spacious including diners from the hotel and outside. Can be noisy if there is a large crowd however feels calm and homey. Ricardo is the manager/head of staff, super helpful & very patient. Rafael was one of our servers and he was so friendly and patient in answering questions. Immediately after being seated, we were asked who at the table had celiac. Menu is clearly labeled with gluten free items and dairy free options as well. Vegetarian items are also labeled. Gluten free bread is available for the table. The Shitake Mushroom Cream Soup with Truffle Mascarpone Quenelle is just absolutely the best soup ever; if you're a fan of mushrooms. The orange and Chocolate cake was so good! Portion size was just right! It was so great to be able to dine without being scared of cross contamination. Please note that at first this was hard to find, it is part of a hotel. Highly recommend.

After…read morehearing about their gluten-free offerings, I decided to give this place a chance for one of my evening meals during my trip to the city in the Winter of 2023. The interior is fairly comfortable with many tables suited to larger parties, yet the menu and prices seem to be more in line with fine dining, while the menu was limited, I was told that pretty much everything could be adapted to be made gluten-free. I ordered the Tandoori Chicken Breast which was listed on the menu as coming with potato gratin and some mushrooms, it also came with a small number of vegetables. While I was waiting for my food, they ended up bringing some gluten-free bread and oil to my table, the gluten-free bread was hot and individually wrapped so I was really excited to try it, but the bread wasn't good at all. One of the rolls was seeded (I hate seeded bread), and the other one just didn't taste good. After the bread, I was brought another dish, which appeared to be a slice of cheese with tomato and some sort of pesto dressing, while I appreciated them bringing this to my table as a mini appetizer, my server didn't explain what it was, so I had no idea on what I was eating. I was disappointed with the service overall, as they didn't explain the cheese dish they brought to the table, and were not too attentive during my meal, my glass of water fell empty, and they also didn't check up on how my meal was until the very end. Despite being quite spacious, they did put a large family including children right next to our table, despite having gaps in-between other diners and the space to do so which I would have preferred they avoided. The portion size was a little small, it would be ideal for a light lunch but if you're looking for dinner, it would be better suited for one to have multiple courses. My main course was actually pretty good, the chicken was cooked well, and the tandoori sauce was tasty, the potato gratin also was very good, I thought it was a cool idea to have little pieces of bacon inside it, I just would have liked a lot more of it. The carrots were hard and almost inedible so having a little more chicken, and a little more potato would have made it much more filling. A service charge did appear to be added to my bill, which was only a couple of euros, it didn't appear that they charged for either the bread or cheese plate. 3* - Many positives for sure, the food was good, I just would have liked more of it. Improvements to service are also an urgent must.
