Stuffed squid with monk fish and prawn was very tasty! And other food that we tried was delicious. Staff was quick and helpful, at lunchtime quickly became very busy.

Busy place, couldn't get outside seating so we sat next to the kitchen and everything that came out of it looked amazing. The burrata and the calamari were excellent. The burger was also very good but was a bit overcooked, closer to medium well. My wife also had the veggies which were good

This should receive a little visit from Michelin. Our best meal in Cantabria. Congrats.

This is the best restaurant in Comillas! We walked in on Saturday lunch time and had to wait a bit since the restaurant is fully booked. We ordered a drink at the bar and the waiters are super friendly who gave us the table in less than 5 mins waiting. The menu has a lot of options of meat and seafood and the drinks and wine have great selection. Will definitely come back to this restaurant again!

Food was so good, we ordered rabas, the lemon sauce was amazing, tuna tataki, which in my opinion needed more rock and roll, rabo de toro, super tasty, and panacota, so not leave this place without trying it out. Everything accompanied by a Ramon Bilbao wine!Service was just ok

It was a very special experience. My wife and I are vegans. The wok of vegetables was the best I have ever had. It was accompanied with a tomato salad with a excellent dressing. Our children preferred to make an exception for one day. They odered a dish of potatoes with eggs and Spanish ham, which was grate as well. The price was also cheap if you consider the place and the time. All in all, excellent!!!

Fantastic lunch in Comillas, the artichokes were delicious, so we're the stuffed baby squid. The portions were on the big side (by London standards) so I think we could have had just one dish each, everyrhing coming out of the kitchen looked amazing though and this place was much busier than anywhere else, so if you're looking for a restaurant to come to on your trip to Comillas look no further!
