"Hidden gem! Delicious food (all celiac friendly/gluten free), very friendly family, and beautiful terrace to enjoy the sunset. Sad we’re leaving or we’d be back for sure"

"When you are in Nerja definitely visit this restaurant. It is so nice and quiet, outside the touristic area. The food is beautiful. The first night we went there the waiter/owner told us we had ordered too much! And he was right, even after cutting down on our meal we still were not able to finish it. The food is lovely home cooked(to perfection) food. We went there twice and both times we had a wonderful meal. Very reasonably priced too. Highly recommend the octopus and pork knuckle (slow cooked for 18 hrs, juicy tender meat that falls of the bone)"

"This off-the-beaten-track authentic Spanish restaurant was exactly what we were looking for. The food was impeccable and featured some dishes we hadn’t seen before - cooked to perfect and very tasty. We were made to feel right at home and the children had a great time too as they could play in the plaza. It’s also naturally gluten-free which was a bonus for our son who is coeliac."

"We had wok fried vegetable with noodles; pork loin ; and cod fish. Everything was delicious and the portions were large. Service was friendly and helpful. Even though the restaurant is known for having gluten free food, we enjoyed it for all the wonderful tastes."
