Ask the waiters for advice, they know the origin of all their products, all organic and from the region. The cooking is even done in a wood-fired oven. We recommend the fried chicken with Moroccan spices and chili honey. And in the dessert section, we have a weakness for the Sopaipillas, a vanilla, cinnamon and caramel pastry. A good address for a relaxed dinner.
