Loved this gem of a restaurant - we weee a group of 8 - they offered a rillettes de sardines ( yum!) as a complementary amusement bouche, we ordered the oysters and got some shrimp as a surprise, the grilled octopus and burrata, for mains the special Turbo with veggies and smashed potatoes, the grilled Octopus which was the best I have ever had (amazing chimichurri sauce!)and the mixed seafood dish “Pareillada de la mer” which had a delicious mix of several fresh fish and shrimp, the desserts were also great: the chocolate Mille Feuille was a deconstructed version that was much better than the original with dark chocolate and pastry feuilletés, and the brioche pain perdu and Pavlova with red fruits were amazing! The service was personal and top notch we even changed an order after tasting hue great the octopus was in the appetizer and they were happy to accommodate !
