Such a lovely Spanish influenced restaurant with impeccable service, great atmosphere and amazing authentic food. If you just want to pop in for a coffee and cake that's also top quality. All staff members, Emma, Donna, Kieran, Nicky and the whole team is very friendly and professional, giving great suggestions for food. If you are at Apsley pop by, you won't regret it. 😊

sunday lunch was our first visit and it was one of those finds you just can't wait to go back to. perfect position along the union canal, ample parking either in the marina or across the bridge by paper mill. food is delicious and very nicely presented, a wide choice for all and reasonably priced. staff are super friendly just how service should be, dog friendly and they are opening a new section next door which is only going to add for the atmosphere. Whether you are sitting inside or outside the decor is beautiful, really highly recommend.

Came for birthday brunch here with my friends. The service was amazing and everyone was really friendly. The food was delicious and the menu had loads of great options. The smoothies were 10/10 and the whole place is decorated beautifully. The restaurant is right by the river so you can sit outside on a nice day. The staff brought a dessert and candles for the birthday girl and everyone sung! 5/5 and we will definitely be back soon
