Table of three... went on a Sunday at 3pm but really busy inside so sat outside in the sunshine! Excellent food, brilliant staff and a beautiful setting. Highly recommended
A very modern but tastefully decorated restaurant set on the edge of town. It has excellent parking through it's gates as well as a children's play area and sitting outside and inside.
We had booked in advance but when we arrived we struggled to find the correct entrance and then the waitress, although very helpful , seemed to be a bit rushed. We probably came in through the wrong door.

The menu of the day had a great choice of dishes and was priced very well at 15 euro.
This included bread and first drinks.
The dishes we had were very tasty and well presented. My wife was very pleased that she got proper fried potatoes instead of the normal frozen chips.
The service was very quick and staff were very efficient and friendly.
The atmosphere at lunchtime was very professional with many clients seeming to have business lunches.

Would recommend everyone trying this place out.

A Modern setting with good quality traditional foods.

I enjoyed a superb meal here with my family. The place was an instant hit with the kids, thanks to its playground, and we had a fantastic table under an ornamental olive tree on the terrace. It’s a spacious restaurant with plenty of room inside for those who prefer to dine indoors.

I was impressed by the extensive menu, which offered an excellent selection of fresh dishes.

To start, we shared a wonderful Raff tomato salad with local avocado, topped with a piece of Melva from Tarifa, perfectly dressed with oil and vinegar. We also ordered some grilled white prawns and a tuna tartar to complete our starters. It's worth noting that we opted for half portions of some dishes so we could try more.

For the main course, we shared an oven-cooked monk fish. The fish was beautifully presented, and the flesh was incredibly succulent. The great selection of meat dishes on the menu nearly tempted us to overindulge, but instead, we decided to share some homemade desserts. We chose the Torrijas (think of an upscale bread and butter pudding), pistachio cheesecake, and Kinder cake. While all were delicious, the Torrijas was the standout for me.

The restaurant has a fantastic atmosphere, and the staff were attentive, helpful, and friendly, making this one of the most memorable dining experiences I’ve had in a long time.

First time visiting this restaurant, and I was very impressed. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious. The menu del dia is available Monday-Friday, which we had, and cost 15€. All the courses I had were very tasty. The decor and table settings are modern and attractive, and the toilets are amazing, the best I have seen in Spain so far! Very clean, modern with superb lighting. Will definitely go back again, probably when it's cooler, to sit outside in the lovely gardens.

I had visited this restaurant about 10 years ago with a group - it was excellent. I went yesterday for lunch with a colleague, it was again excellent - attentive service, excellent quality food and good value.
