ALLALA

Japanese restaurant

The indescribable Seko opened this unique restaurant in 2007, only one month after leaving Japan for San Marcos. A surprising address, made of bricks and mortar with a space dedicated to the sale of all kinds of objects, from fur vests to Venetian masks, like a thrift store. You can eat makis of extraordinary quality, a tasty miso soup, delicious tempuras and curries... A treat. Cherry on the cake: the dessert, offered. An evening with buffet and live music is held every 15th of the month. Absolutely unmissable!

This beautiful address nestled in front of the lake is ideal for watching the sun go down. Nevertheless, it would be a shame to be satisfied with a drink: the cuisine is excellent.

Mystical sounding bands play some nights.
