Tucked slightly off the main strip, this warm and unpretentious spot effortlessly blends the familiar comfort of a neighborhood pub with the inviting spirit of a bistro that knows its rhythm. It’s the kind of place where laughter and conversation settle in beside your table, and the soft clink of glasses harmonizes with the occasional shuffle of a board game being set up.
The atmosphere here feels thoughtfully relaxed yet quietly vibrant—marked by a Dutch touch that adds a subtle, friendly charm to the place. The space encourages you to linger, whether you’re enjoying a quiet meal or sharing a round of expertly crafted cocktails with friends. Staff move with an easy attentiveness that feels sincere without interrupting the comforting flow of the evening.

Really enjoyed our meal here. Service is great with the staff very friendly and helpful. Relaxing enviornment with a lovely menu that isn't overloaded with choice. Everything was so tasty and well cooked. We spotted board games as we were leaving so if a fan of games get them on arrival! Last orders is 9pm and you might want to reserve to be guaranteed a table. Its easy to miss this little gem as its up a side street but deffo worth a visit.

Small restaurant off the main strip in puerto del carmen. Dutch owened and staff freindly with a relaxed atmosphere. We had a table for 4 wine and beer main and desert and came to €126 which was quite reasonable. Would definatley recommend.

Will be definately coming back before we go home.

We are so happy we found this little gem on the Puerto Del Carmen strip. From what I can tell by other reviews they are new enough. We went for cocktails and tapas. The tapas was one of the best tapas we have had on the island and that’s all we ever pretty much eat over here. We were greeted with a bowl of cheese which was so tasty! We went for the Serrano wrapped goats which was a first for me and oh my god was it the most glorious thing ever!!!! The Russian salad and Spanish omelette was also just as excellent. The atmosphere is very cosy and romantic! Lovely waiter and the food arrived very quickly. It lost one star due to the mojitos.. they didn’t have enough alcohol and were not sweet enough but other than that it was a 10/10

Lovely relaxed vibe, booked in advance. Enjoyed some tapas which I can't fault, all very fresh and tasty. The theatre element comes with mini piggy grill to warm the chorizo, which was great. Nice range of local wines. Staff were great, nothing was rushed.

Best restaurant I've ever been to in puerto del Carmen and I've been going there 16 years. Excellent service and lovely friends atmosphere, beautiful decor and exceptional food reasonably priced. 2 starters, 2 mains and a bottle of house wine for under 70 euro. Its a must visit in PDC located just around the corner from American Indian and universo bars near the bottom of the hill

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The food was exceptional, starting with delicious appetizers, followed by a fantastic mixed grill and high-quality beef. The beef, in particular, was outstanding. I highly recommend visiting this place!
