    Squid ink paella was the best we had in Europe. Their traditional octopus was great too.

    This is probably one of the best restaurants in the city. REALLY expensive. whenever you get there do not get fooled. don't let the waiter keep pouring wine. They will open bottles non stop

    Paella was very good, but come on, the whole menu is extremely expensive for what it is. Staff doesnt speak english, but they try which is appreciated. Surprised dessert, great apero.

    the taste was lovely, but not suitable for the price. You can find better taste than this in cheaper price in Barcelona. The place was beautiful, and there are complimentary desert after the meal.

    Be aware of the mid price rating because it's quite expensive. We had a seafood paella for 2 ppl and it was 60 euros plus they charge 9 euros for water and another 5 euros for olives we didn't order.
