🫤 A can't figure why this place is so popular. The food is less than mediocre. While the dishes on the menu sound like Spanish tapas, it clearly shows that the chef's have never actually eaten Spanish tapas, or possibly even cooked, before. Sorely lacking in flavour and ranging from under to over cook... People often mention tapas, great,

While the dishes on the menu sound like Spanish tapas, it clearly shows that the chef's have never actually eaten Spanish tapas, or possibly even cooked, before. Sorely lacking in flavour and ranging from under to over cooked, it's the worst food I've had in Zurich. At least the service is decor is nice.

    I would give 4.5 because it feels like the last time we went the pimientos de padron were frozen, the texture was just not great - for such a signature dish I would always expect them to have them fresh if on the menu. Otherwise its as close as you can get to a tapas place in central zurich!

    Pretty good tapas bar in zurich with nicely crafted dishes, from saussage to octopus to ceviche, everything was fresh and nicely presented. Service was attentive yet i found it priced on the upper end of the scale for the value.

    Awesome place!!!! Very polite and fun staff, they spoke English in a very nice way to us. Food was great, especially the prawns, meatballs and pig year. Good wine selection, food service was quite fast. Would go there again!

    The service is good, people are very friendly. However the food and the drinks are too expensive for what you get.

    Great tapas, nice menu surprise. Friendly staff, knowing their products and giving good recommendations. I felt welcome and taken good care off.

    Very pleasantly surprised by the degustation menu with a rich variety of small plates to be shared, served over 5 courses. Everything looked fresh, was very well prepared and presented, with great taste and texture. The dessert was the less impressive part but the rest was really great. Superbe wine list at "reasonable" prices (for Zürich at least...). Good service while a little cold and impersonal, but perhaps because we don't speak (Swiss)German?. Really an excellent evening and we'll come back. To the manager, if you read these lines: please systematically add large spoons when bringing the plates to make it easier to share dishes ;-)

    Food is great with superb selection of tapas. Wine list is at best too. Service can be more accommodating. Easiest part to improve. We will go back again for the love of Spanish tapas…

    we went for dinner and got some creative tapas that were somewhere pretty but tasted bad. From the nine tapas we got, 2 were passable the rest were bad. Everything had pickled vegetables on it. Food was not tasty at all. Service was fine.

    One of our fav places for a tapas dinner. Pig ear is the best!

    The best jamon paleta I had for a long time! Pan con tomate made me feel in Spain. Service was great and quick, wine was good and nicely priced 👍🏽
