Amazing tapas! 2-3 plates per person is about right, the servers were attentive and really friendly. Will be coming back

I had a fantastic gluten-free meal with a friend here. As a coeliac, there were plenty of options from the tapas menu for me to enjoy and nearly all of the mains from the "regular" menu are also gluten-free which is always a fantastic feeling. The staff were very accommodating and friendly and the food itself was fantastic. This will be my regular tapas haunt whenever I'm in Cardiff!
What a lovely place. Ridiculously good value and amazing staff. Tapas was authentic and great quality ingredients. Will return 100%!
