About Us

A few words about us

Let us introduce ourselves

We are a small Spanish / Catalan walk-in tapas bar.
No bookings no dress code. Enjoy your drink, dishes or both in a friendly, cosy, casual atmosphere.
Don’t expect white cloth and buttoned-up waiters though, it’s not us. We believe in the equal importance of quality and fun, which means serving you great food and drinks, with a smile.
So dress up, or don’t, but remember to enjoy and have fun!
