Kevin explained every dish as we ate it. The cheese platter with 3 different cheeses and meats was delicious as were the accompanying roasted almonds and pickles complimented the platter. The acorn fed iberico ham was something we had not tasted before. The following tapas were exceptional the baby squid stuffed with black pudding is out of this world as was the pork cheeks and the meatballs the taste of each dish was exceptional and had never encountered before even in Spain!

We ate here for my wife's birthday, oh what a fantastic choice. It is BYOB which is a nice change , the food was absolutely fantastic. The owner is so nice and helpful . He has as well as the restaurant a selection of deli products on sale for you to take away and try to replicate the dishes on the menu, a must in my view.
I must say, this is the best tapas I have had outside of Madrid. The Jamón Ibérico is absolutely delicious and the only thing lacking is a wine list that pairs perfectly with the food. But if you happen to forget to bring your own, there is a supermarket nearby where you can grab a bottle and fully enjoy the experience.
The best Spanish restaurant and shop in Edinburgh! Cozy, tiny, with just spanish dishes, variety and with a good products! I had some nibbles to start, spanish chorizo and pan with tomate follow by Octopus and croquettes with canarian sauce. I wished had more but, definitely, I will be back there as soon as I can.

We had a great evening. Everything was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. We started the evening with a 30 minute educational master class teaching us about Jamón. It was interesting, fun and made for a wonderful farm to table experience. We are already planning for our next visit.
Amazing very authentic Spanish tapas with great service from Kevin. The iberico jamon is the best I’ve ever tasted, the slow cooked pigs cheeks were out of this world, the Valencian baby squid was also very very good. Overall a wonderful, intimate, authentic taste of Spain in Edinburgh
We had an incredible meal of cured meat, cheese and tapas, and were guided through everything by the wonderful Kevin. The food is fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is low key and informal, in a way that helps you relax into the food and your company. The absolute best!
we had a wonderful meal here on Saturday. our host was informative and attentive, but not in our faces. the choice of meat and cheese was fab and it is the best tortilla I had outside spaniens. we will definitely come back. Book a table now
