Overall this is a great little restaurant, with neat ocean views in the daytime (though we were…read morethere at night and couldn't see much). Indoor and outdoor seating, year 'round, though in Feb, it was low 50Fs at night, and we had to sit inside. As with many of the beach towns in the Cadiz province, the dining room was chilly, because it is equipped for warmer temps most of the year. They also have a habit of leaving the door open, so I was in my coat the whole dinner. :-) Our menu was in Spanish, but our waiter was helpful about offering to describe things, if certain dishes were unfamiliar. It was easier for him to describe in Spanish, so I interpreted from there. He did find an old English menu to help my husband, but it didn't have all the current dishes, so we worked on it until all was copacetic, with food on the way! This place is more of a fusion restaurant. It has good reviews on a variety of rating sites, so that sold me, though I did want to stick to more uniquely Spanish food on this trip, be it traditional or newer. I just wanted to eat the region, authentically. We tried to go with the most indigenous dishes we could. I was surprised that when I asked the (young) waiter what dishes were most authentic to Spain, he came up with things that to me, are totally American. For tapas-like apps, we had the patatas con ajo y aceite de oliva, which was very good, but looked and tasted much like potato salad (thought it might be more like Andalusian Tortilla de Patatas). We also had a salad with fried chicken poppers, goat cheese, and salsa verde, which, again, was tasty, but much like something from home. My husband had the octopus (pulpo) entree with patatas bravas. It was perfectly cooked, with an amazing tenderness for what is usually a pretty rubbery texture. He was very pleased. My seafood limitations made me go with another Yelper's tip about the beef cordon bleu (even though it wasn't Spanish), and, unfortunately, I could not have been more disappointed. It came with a very orange cheddar sauce, that was like something from Ruby Tuesday's. I managed a few bites because I was starving, but my husband ate the rest. Just not my thing. Dessert was, again, very tasty, but the lemon torte had a meringue-y topping, much like yet another dish from home. The meal was for the most part very tasty, presented beautifully, and the staff was great. I just did not realize, from my research, how fusion-y this place was, and had hoped for more authentically Spanish/Andalusian dishes.

Best meal I had in Spain. Patatas bravas, beef cordon bleu, and croquettes were all fantastic…read more Beautiful outdoor table facing the ocean. La mejor comida que he tenido aquí. Patatas bravas, cordón bleu, y croquetas todas eran fantásticos. Bonita mesa afuera, mirando el mar.

Oooof! The highlight of our time in Cadiz! We would have spent all afternoon here enjoying the food…read moreand wine if we didn't have to rush out to catch our ship. They have the most delicious seafood soup that you'll ever try, and their squid-ink rice is on another level. It was a lot of us, so we tried a little bit of everything and I can honestly say that every item was delectable. You can't go wrong. Will definitely visit next time we find ourselves in that neck of the woods!

We came here twice during our recent visit to Cádiz... first at the suggestion of our Air BnB host,…read moreand second, because the first time was JUST SO GOOD! I agree with several of the other reviewers that getting tapas at the bar is the way to go here - and even if you want a full-blown meal, getting it at the bar will save considerable Euros from your bill, and service is a lot quicker. That said, this place is VERY popular among the locals, and so you may have to wait awhile if you go during the lunch rush-hour of 2 - 3 pm. We'd been told that this place is known for its tuna dishes, and in all honesty, that's a good thing to be known for in this end of Spain. They do it proud! They use sushi-grade tuna and will serve it as rare as you like (Tuna Tartare) to fully cooked. IMHO, their tuna is better on the rare side. The other meals we had there (my wife's favorite goat-cheese salad, and a lasagna de ternera) were also quite good, but - when a restaurant in tuna country is known for its tuna, order the tuna! Buen provecho!
