Enmig del bullici del carrer Blai, un racó on et pots sentir com a casa i fer uns tasts de cuina de gran qualitat. Croquetes, tårtar i carpaccio imprescindibles!

Ne yedik isek çok lezzetli idi .. tavuklu rulo dan patlıcanlı mezelerine ve kalamari pişirme şekillerine kadar

This is a must-go for any fan of good homemade "croquetas". I tried the chicken "croquetas" and can assure you that they were delicious. Besides that, the space itself has also a cosy homey feeling and the staff is always super friendly - even when the place is super busy (which usually occurs). A great place to visit for an informal dinner (price could be around 10€ to 15€ a person if you do tapas) and for vermouths on Sunday afternoons.
