Very nice service and atmosphere, the location is great. Unfortunately where food is concerned “a la carte”, it was overpriced for what it is. Pulpo was good, but not extraordinary, cheesecake was decent, but not too special. The chuleta was underwhelming, especially at ~20 EUR. The sauce looked heated up in the microwave and the meat too chewy, although the flavour was okay. Given that the restaurant received a Michelin recommendation in 2023 and that is proudly advertised, at this price point the food is overrated.

Restaurante ubicado en los bajos del Hotel Pazo de Altamira, frente al Mercado de Abastos. Disponen de terraza agradable y salón interior. Servicio amable y empático, siempre dispuestos a dar el mejor servicio. En nuestro caso estuvimos hospedados en el hotel y pudimos disfrutar del desayuno que es de 💯. Por otra parte, decidimos cenar en este restaurante una noche con unos amigos y todo exquisito, muy bien presentado y atención estupenda. Cocina perfecta y materia prima de muy buena calidad que al fusionarse consiguen ensalzar los sabores potenciándolos para que disfrutes de una velada maravillosa. Enhorabuena!!! Nos vemos pronto.
