It was great. Last night in Spain. The setting is quite something sitting in the night shadows of the basilica. We had an amazing pasta with pear and cheese as truffles dish that was memorable.also had a D.O. (Denominacion Origine) cheese ith quinces which was really good. This is a great dining experience and I highly recommend it.

In winter, it's cosy and intimate, but in summer is when it really shines - tables fill the little square it's set in and it's a... More

Beautiful little place in Vilafranca. Not sure if it is open for lunch but we went for dinner and it was fantastic. The menu is basically choices of salads and then served breads, ham and cheese afterwards. Its not really a three course meal sort of place. The salads are full on meals and I'd recommend the salmon or goats... More
