Set in the walls of a charming wooden house dating back to 1879, it is probably one of the most famous addresses, not so much for its kitchen, frankly average or even disappointing, as for the pretty friendly frame (pleasant patio). Las Delicias of Don Tomás, a house specialty, would like to be faithful to the Spanish paella.

In a hushed decor with a large bar around which it is good to remake the film of the evening, we revel in fusion specialties, homemade recipes and above all quality and fresh products: duck breast with pepper sauce, veal head in gribiche sauce, veal blanquette à l'ancienne, lambi skewer. The mussels are at the top of the bill and, by all accounts, you should try the chicken samoussas. All-you-can-eat buffet as well as a dish of the day every lunchtime.

Although the El Rancho Brahmans restaurant serves excellent typical cuisine based on braised meat, fish and platos combinados (pork or chicken served with rice and vegetables) and boasts a very large riverside terrace, don't pass by the restaurant to plan your excursion around the lake, as the organization is somewhat lacking.
