"Fuimos visitar Guadix y nos recomendaron este sitio para comer, está a 5 min en coche. Se trata de una cueva, muy característica de esta zona. Tanto la comida como el servicio es excelente con una gran carta de vinos, tienen una magnífica terraza para tomar una copa tanto en invierno como en verano ya que está acristalada en invierno y abierta en verano."

"Wahnsinn! Dieses Restaurant hebt die Messlatte nochmal um einige Sterne, die 5sterne spiegeln nicht wieder wie toll das Erlebnis hier ist. Selbst das Brot mit Olivenöl schmeckt besser als wo anders die Hauptspeise. Essen war hervorragend! Das Dessert für 6 Euro einfach unglaublich. Danke für die Gastfreundlichkeit."

El servicio destaca por su profesionalidad y calidez con un profesional siempre dispuesto a atender cada detalle con esmero. El ambiente, cuidado y sofisticado , logra un equilibrio perfecto entre comodidad y elegancia. En cuanto a la propuesta gastronómica, cada plato refleja un profundo respeto por el producto y una ejecución impecable. La presentación es refinada y los productos sabores, refinados y sorprendentes, revelan un trabajo culinario de gran nivel. Muy recomendable el plato de croquetas variadas, cuya combinación entre aromas y matices lo convierte en una experiencia memorable. La relación entre calidad y precio es más que adecuada, teniendo en cuenta la excelencia entre servicio, comida y entorno. Sin duda, un lugar al que merece la pena volver, y que se consolida como una referencia gastronómica en la zona."

"Disfrutamos de un almuerzo por san Valentín. El servicio es muy atento y la comida espectacular. Pedimos varios platos para compartir, pero sin duda los huevos revueltos con gamba roja son todo un acierto. Las croquetas también estaban riquísimas, especialmente las de gambas y jamón. Un sitio top para ocasiones especiales o celebraciones."
