“ Tried the tuna and goat meat, both excellent dishes, very friendly waiter and good priced ”
“ We found this tiny place on Google Maps and decided to visit it. The restaurant is small with only 5 tables in the diningroom (comedor). All other guests eere locals. The day's dishes are written on a blackboard (pizzara). Some of the dishes can be served half size (media racion) which is sufficient for most people. We had morcilla, fried cheeses, goat meat, bread, fries, beer, water, wine, coffee and a chesecake dessert (quesodillo). Everything was perfect and fair price 35€ for two. The entrance is the bar area for those who just want something to drink. We recommed the new road from Abades as the other road from El Porís is very narrow. The small villages (Arico Villa and Cisnera) have several small restaurants and very few tourists. ”
“ We recently visited this lovely mountain bar and restaurant and had an amazing experience. The place offers delicious local dishes that are reasonably priced, making it a great value for the quality of food you get. Sadly we only remembered to take one photo! The staff and locals were incredibly friendly—everyone said hello to us, which made us feel very welcome. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and I highly recommend a visit to anyone in the area. ”
