"The staff was friendly and had a unique sense of humor. The food was very good, I'd definitely go back for the Patatas Bocatin. Every vermouth comes with a tapa. The croquette sampler was the highlight. Locals hanging out. Very inexpensive."

"We spent a week in Valencia, and this was the best place we visited! Lovely atmosphere, lovely service and lovely food. When we arrived the place was packed, but they managed to get us a table as soon as possible. I had a sangria cocktail, and again, the best so far. My boyfriend asked for a recommendation for vermut and the lovely host lady asked about what he likes in general to be able to recommend the most suitable for his taste. And not the most expensive one, so it wasn't just for the show. During the whole time we felt like we would be the most important guests. And again, the place was fully packed. The food was heavenly. And the place is very cute with clean tables and dishes. I was already sad to leave Valencia tomorrow, but this place just became one other reason for it. Thank you again!"
