About

Signature offerings feature charcoal-roasted chicken prepared with bold spices and authentic marinades that define regional flavor profiles. The menu highlights simple yet robust plates, emphasizing the natural quality of proteins cooked over high heat to achieve a distinct charred exterior. Patrons encounter a straightforward culinary environment focused on the consistent preparation of classic maritime and land-based fare. The preparation emphasizes depth of flavor through slow cooking and high-temperature searing methods. Accompaniments typically include crisp salads and hearty sides that balance the intensity of the grill. This establishment maintains a commitment to time-honored cooking traditions, ensuring each dish reflects the rustic essence of the Iberian peninsula through precise execution and focus on savory, fire-kissed results.

Was there a couple of weeks ago & ordered 1/2 a chicken & a plate of calamares. Chicken was very good, the fries were exceptional, the sauce was top notch. would've wanted cole slaw instead of a normal salad. Cole slaw & BBQ chicken, always goes well together . Calamares was ok, found that the batter was to thick. A lighter batter would've been better. Portions are very generous. Will definitely go back for the chicken.

Tres bon nourriture, assiettes assez remplissantes, le seul détail est le service à la clientèle qui doit peut-être plus serviable ainsi qu'avoir plus d'empathie pour les nouveaux clients qui ne connaissent peut-être pas le menu ou la dynamique du restaurant
