Wonderful small restaurant about 100m up from the old town with a great outdoor seating area under a trellis and with great views of the Barranco de Tejeda. Grilled fish was exceptionally good and great value.

Lovely little restaurant with a cozy atmosphere and fantastic food. The mango gazpacho was absolutely outstanding – fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor. Highly recommended!

Good food for fair prices just outside of the towns centre, but with splendid views. The waitress was very friendly and helpful in making me an Aperol Spritz which wasn't even on the menu (and it came out great)!
