    Unfortunately, tourists are being completely ripped off here. I would have gladly recommended it if the correct price had been charged for the Menu del Dia (bread, salad, fish, and a drink). It normally costs €14-15, but I was charged €24. Despite my complaint, they offered no compensation.

    My husband went to the place last week and paid 13 euro for a main course, salad, bread, dessert and water. I went to the same place with my daughter today and we paid twice more for the same set of the menu. The only explanation I can come up with is that we looked like tourists. Outrageous!
