“Bravas” Potatoes with spicy sauce and mayonnaise €3.10

Thick cut potatoey potatoes with normal sauce.
Baked Red Peppers Fillet (with Cod puree) €3.45

Really soft, thin red peppers stuffed with mashed potato like cod and topped with mozarella cheese. Pretty yummy.
Pan con Tomate €1.95

For the first time, these were really hard and crunchy.
Small Squids Roman Style €4.25

Not as good as the first time we got calamari here. Maybe because it was a Monday, not the best day for seafood (and many restaurants are closed) but these scary looking big rings of calamari were very rubbery.
Grilled Clams €9.90

Small plate of garlicy buttery clams.
Prawn Brochette €2.70

Crunchy grilled salty shrimp on top of a tiny oiled and buttered piece of toast.
Café con leche €1.35

The waiters were a bit slow and messy, and added on a coca cola light we didn’t want. Too bad we paid before noticing.
