Really good "tapas" restaurant, it's a mix of spain and France typical plates. You cannot book in advance, but it's worth it to wait a bit. They give free water in a house bottle. We have tried the pollo loco(really tasty!), the aubergine (delicious), plate of 2 cheeses, and pâtes (delicious), croquettes and the gâteau basque as dessert. We highly recommend the dessert! Super nice atmosphere! They have a shop where you can buy wine and other products.

Incredibly popular and busy- no reservations, but you can stand/sit outside with a glass of wine while you wait.A great busy atmosphere and service that is efficient and friendly.The food is delicious and you could have anything off of the menu and be pleased.We had 4 plates between 2 of us, plus the bread and some cheese to finish.I highly recommend a visit.

Such a good local spot. Incredible service, wine, and tapas. Went twice in 4 days. First time I got the Serrano ham and some tomato bread and cheese. The baguette that comes with everything was some of the best bread I’ve ever had. The second time I went we got a bunch of things. Among the best were the squid (grilled squid in this delicious sauce), and the white fish carpaccio.

Facing the busy market square, this bistro is perfect for a quick bite before a stroll on the seaside promenade. Salted caramel beignets with vanilla Chantilly cream are to die for.
