Worth it for if you've only got a day, couples and solo travellers; not for families with kids.
What to order
The plates that decide it
Whatever the chef recommends from the market — trust the kitchen; the menu shifts daily
The seasonal seafood and tortilla — reliably superb when available
Asking for a printed menu or set price — skip it — there isn't one; the day's market dictates the plates and you settle up at the end
Why we say this
Insider secrets & local vibes
Deceptively simple, produce-first cooking that insiders rate among the finest in the city.
Not independently verified — estimated
There's no fixed menu and no prices on display — the kitchen leads and the bill climbs fast, so a meal can run well past €100 a head once wine is in. The room seats barely a dozen, so a missed booking means no table at all.

Foodies
A serious, low-key destination for diners who care more about the ingredient than the spectacle — but only if you're relaxed about not knowing the bill until it lands.
Couples
An intimate splurge for an unshowy but memorable dinner — let the kitchen lead.
