The portions are generous, making it a must-visit for tapas lovers. We ordered a warm salad, truffle broccoli, ajo blanco and Goat cheese and spinach Croquettes – you must try it!
Definitely the best tapas restaurant in Oxford city centre!😊❤️
Fresh produce, great quality coffee and all round delicious. Simply the only place to go for brunch in Oxford. It’s a 5 from me.
Service and coffee were good, thus the 4 stars.
As a Spaniard, I can say this is real, authentic Spanish food. Everything was delicious—especially the croquettes, the pluma steak and artichokes, which were absolutely amazing. Great value for money and perfect for a relaxed afternoon or weekend treat. Highly recommend!
There were too many red flags, firstly we were told everything was gluten free and we just have to swap out the bread, then upon pushing we were told only a few things were available, then only the avocado and egg dish with gluten free bread is ok, then upon asking about how the bread is toasted it turns out they use a toaster for normal and gluten free bread.
Clearly they don't know enough about allergies (despite the signs).
We had to leave as we simply can't trust the safety of the restaurant.
