This had to be the best tasting burger I've ever had. The sides were delicious too. 10/10 for service and set in a wonderful location too. Not overpriced either. I recommend you check it out

This is my first 3 x 5 star review! Icing on the cake was the wonderful waitress, full of fun and very attentive. It’s mainly tapas, my wife had goat’s cheese plus black pudding with caramelised onions and fried prawn with mango dip. Pil-pil pasta was on the specials so I had that and our daughter had the tapas burger. The food was excellent and really tasty. We saw plenty of other dishes coming out and all look amazing. Will definitely be back

A fabulous little restaurant next to the school. A great atmosphere and a great 2 course lunch for 18 Euros. Excellent size portions and value. I will definitely go again when in the area.

They have an available menu which cost 17.50. We were here on a Saturday lunch and it was a lovely place. They forgot to serve the 2nd dish of our 2 companions but it was well compensated after we reminded them.
