"Man muss einfach mal den schweizer Bünzli weglegen und das alles geniessen. Dann ist das hier sensationell. Es ist ein Familienbetrieb, man gibt, was es hat und das ist auch gut so. Gutes Essen ist das Wichtigste. Nicht mal in Spanien habe ich so gut gegessen."

"A piece of Galicia in Switzerland. Even though we arrived quite late (around 15:30), they had no issues in serving a portion of really tasty "Pulpo" (octopus) and fried "Calamares" (squid). 100% recommended."
