Nice place to sit outside with a drink, reading the papers or watching the world go by. Coffee is nice which they serve with a pincho either cake or tortilla. Service is good & professional. It's a bit expensive especially if you have to leave a tip too.

Hemos ido 7 personas. Dos raciones de arroz (meloso y negro) y una ensalada de temporada. La ensalada muy rica, el arroz ESPECTACULAR. Unos 40€ la ración (pone que es para dos) y comen 3 o 4. Las vistas muy bonitas y el personal amable y atento.
