Un bar familiar en el que el trato y la buena comida son de 10. Fuimos a Cubelles por trabajo un par de fines de semana y nos pedimos un día para cenar unas hamburguesas que estaban espectaculares tanto en sabor como en variedad … se notaba casero , al día siguiente repetimos porque queríamos probar las franfurt y la oreja y nos sorprendió lo ricas que estaban las dos cosas . El trato admirable y desde luego un lugar para recomendar 100% . Estaba todo tan rico que no me dio tiempo de hacer fotos , solo de este plátazo de oreja mmmmm ricaaaa….

Encontramos el restaurante por casualidad, íbamos tarde y aún así nos dieron de comer. Extremadamente educados y serviciales. La comida deliciosa y 100% casera (recomiendo las hamburguesas y la escalopa). Realmente se nota que es casero, porque el sabor es exquisito. Para ser un restaurante a pie de playa, es muy barato. Realmente fue una experiencia inmejorable, el mejor de toda la playa sin duda!!!

Este restaurante no decepciona en ningún aspecto. La comida es impresionante, sencilla pero todo lo que se puede esperar de un lugar al que se va para pasar un buen rato y disfrutar. Lo recomiendo a cualquiera que esté por la zona y quiera hacer tapeo o comerse un buen plato combinado.
