  • 5/5 emilio g. 11 months ago on Google • 24 reviews
    This is likely the best place in Geneva for Spanish food, and in general, for fish based menus. The restaurant is located in the town center, close to the main train station, with lots of available public parking. The menu is awesome, the fresh fish is superb, the Spanish appetizers are amazing and the wine list is pretty good. Prices are reasonable and the Staff is super friendly and competent... a place you need to try!

    Best Spanish restaurant in Geneva! For some authentic foods, drinks and a special staff, don't forget to pass by. The starters, the paella and fishes are amazing! Amazing for a date!

    It is a great place for seafood and fish. The portions are well served and the food was excellent. The service was quick even with a group of 9. The staff are real professionals, polite, efficient, friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend if you are looking for a satisfying, romantic and elegant night in a restaurant.

    Hands down one of the best Spanish restaurants in Geneva, friendly staff, great menu options, paella is a must to try, their appetizers/starters never disappoints, you might need to reserve ahead though!
