The only restaurant in the Ambiente stable we hadn't tried and it was excellent as expected. We had the paella to share which was superb, we've just come back from Spain and it was better than the two we had there.

We had been recommended Ambiente but it was full the night we visited, so we tried Tabanco instead. The menu looked good but sadly the food didn’t deliver. The dishes were over-sauced : the potatoes with chorizo were almost in a tomato sauce, not lightly coated with sauce, and the chicken skewers were in a sticky teriyaki-type glaze. Prawns with garlic were good though!! Staff were lovely - all very helpful and attentive. Would I return? Sadly not, I’d rather somewhere more authentic ..
