OUR HIGHLIGHTS

Sizzling Western Australian King Banana Prawns
We believe the best Prawn one can get, cooked on Spanish Olive Oil, Garlic and a hint of Chilli. Don’t miss mopping the Oil with a bit of bread, it’s heaven!

Traditional Red Wine Sangria
Spain most famous Cocktail, served as it should be. Recipe under padlock! What we hear from customers; it makes them feel as if they suddenly could be at the Spanish Riviera. So Refreshing, Deliciosa!

TESTIMONIAL
GOOD Based on 389 reviews Cheyne Kupfer2024-08-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So we ordered the Degustation, and I have to say that it was one of the most enjoyable meals I've had for dinner while here in Queenstown. The service was so fantastic, the drinks were good, and they do a mean mojito. But truly, above and beyond service, and every single person here should make it their number one priority to come visit this amazing restaurant.

The seasoning, texture and flavor are one of a kind. I highly recommend the seared tuna and sirloin. It’s the best restaurant in town in my opinion.
