Wonderful dinner for 4. Very good wine list and as others have said amazing food. Strongly recommend.
Lovely new restaurant in Leamington spa. We had a great dinner with my friends , the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. And the food was nicely presented and very tasty. I am not a big fan of mushrooms, but the croquettes were delicious ! I had the grilled octopus, and it was cooked to perfection. The peppers as a side were sooo tasty. The only downside is the prices , it is quite expensive for the small portion you get... but you can tell is it good quality product. So for the big eater be prepared so spend quite a bit of money , but its worth it. Will be back to try more dishes !
This is a lovely restaurant with a great atmosphere. The service and food is top notch which you do pay for, but it’s worth it. We had a mix of starters and mains, finishing with an after dinner drinks. The croquettes, scallops, octopus dishes were excellent as was one of the specials (there were multiple specials on the night to choose from). Never rushed out of the restaurant, but always nicely looked after, this was one of the best restaurant experiences we have had in Leamington.
Big Foodie here - as someone who is not usually the biggest fan of octopus I can tell you this was divine, cooked to perfection and was both delicious and tender. I personally had the lamb which was also cooked beautifully and the sauces on the side were excellent. Would have preferred a bit more explanation on what the sauces were but alas the taste made up for it. Wine was v good, though although the waitress was very kind and helpful, her knowledge of the wines was lacking (not a problem but would have liked 2-3 she could have recommended) I’m not a wine nerd, though alas my family does own a wine shop so am partial to a good glass - but could have done with a little more direction as not too familiar with spanish wines. The service otherwise was fantastic with lovely friendly faces and never felt neglected. All round 4.5/5.
We had a really lovely meal here and we’ll definitely return. Food was amazing. Staff were super cool. The atmosphere was friendly. There’s not a lot of tables and we had to wait 2 weeks to get a booking on a Friday so you need to book in advance. It’s a little pricey but worth it. Highly recommended.
I've been in the UK for almost 4 years, and I have to say this is possibly THE BEST food I've had here in this country. Ordered the octopus, the croquetas and a few other bites and every else was delicious! The Basque Cheesecake was definitely the most delicious cheesecake I've ever had! The atmosphere was also impeccable, and the staff was incredibly friendly! If I could give more than just 5 stars I would! This is 100% going on my list of favorite places.
1st visit to this elegant restaurant. We ordered the anchovies, acorn fed shoulder, hake, crispy pork and desert. Food was exceptional and up there with Oscar’s Bistro. Now there’s 2 places to eat in Leamington!
My boyfriend and I came here for my birthday treat and I can honestly say it was the best meal I’ve had in a long time, along with the service. The waitress and waiter were very attentive and I really enjoyed how they not only explained the menu, but made a conscious effort to pronounce everything properly. An overall fantastic experience, a hidden gem in Leamington and I’m already trying to find another excuse to go!!
