Un lugar excelente donde ir a desayunar bueno, bonito y barato. Tienen de todo para las tostadas y además bollería y dulces. Cada día puedes elegir una cosa diferente para desayunar. Es un lugar muy tranquilo. El café es natural. Sin duda lo recomiendo a todo el mundo. Los camareros son súper amables y atentos y el chef prepara unos platos exquisitos para comida, porque también hacen menú de día. No os lo podéis perder.

Es la segunda vez que vengo a disfrutar del menú del día y, con todas las letras, todo está buenísimo. La atención es cercana y amable, el servicio muy correcto, y la comida, completamente casera. De entrantes pedimos ensalada y nachos con barbacoa, ambos deliciosos. Como platos principales, lasaña y secreto (ambos espectaculares)sabrosos y en su punto. También pedimos unas croquetas caseras: un auténtico acierto para el paladar. De postre, una torrija con helado de vainilla que no dejé ni una miga en el plato. Mención especial a Olivier el dueño, y a Rafa, el chef. Ambos han hecho un trabajo impecable: se nota el cariño en el servicio y en cada plato. ¡Repetiremos sin duda!

Una grata sorpresa tener un lugar que poder comer las facturas y alfajores y demás para desayunar al estilo argentino, pero también un buen desayuno español con su tostada, muy buena ubicación y también buena atención. Recomendable !!!
