Comedor pequeño y acogedor. Servicio esmerado y atento. Cocina casera muy rica. Menú de fin de semana por 32€ aunque algunos platos llevan suplemento. Con algún extra, cafés y copas salimos por 45€. Recomendable. Exquisitas las carrilleras de bacalao, el rabo de ternera guisado y el gorrín asado.

Bar muy acogedor en el barrio de Azpilagaña. Servicio y atención por parte de camareros exquisito, como en casa. La comida magnífica y precio muy ajustado a lo que se come. Raciones bastante grandes y la inmensa mayoría de platos caseros. Música ambiente relajada para tener una buena conversación. Sin duda volveremos
