Great place, reasonable prices, very friendly and attentive service, but not too pushy, which is an amazing plus. Food VERY TASTY. Also a cat friend walking around the area, which to me as a cat lover turned out to be an additional plus.

Llegamos tarde a la cuidad y estaban abierto así que decidimos ir. Fue todo un acierto, comida muy buenas y con un servicio espectacular. Sobretodo Halim que al hablar español nos recomendó cosas. Si podemos iremos otra vez. En cuento a precio fueron unos 42€ nada mal para todo lo que comimos (dos personas) y la calidad

음식이 정말 맛있고 직원들이 아주 친절해요! 양이 조금 적은 것 같지만, 저희는 배불리 잘 먹었습니다 😋(+귀여운 고양이들이 의자에 불쑥불쑥 올라와서 함께 즐거운 점심을 했어요!!)
