Reviews
Lovely place in the heart of Santa Pola, very recommended to visit!
Eight of us had dinner without a reservation and the service was fantastic from the moment we arrived, even though it was very busy. The service was superb, the food was delicious, and the place was peaceful. Excellent value for money; I highly recommend it.
New brewery in Santa Pola, very friendly, delicious tapas, great atmosphere and a fantastic terrace right next to the Castle, I definitely recommend it.
We got charged 5 euros for tapas that everyone else was given for free with their drink - very poor!!
Great location and a nice little cafe / bar in the centre of Santa Pola. The perfect place to enjoy a drink in the afternoon sun and watch the world pass by.
