I can understand all the praise. For around 28EU you get a solid 3 course set menu. And the place also looks cosier on the inside than on the photos. On the downside, cos with aioli was too salty to my liking, and the potatoes they use for cod is exactly the same as for monkfish, and not crispy enough for a proper gratin. They also pride themselves for having a quite impressive fish selection: scorpion fish and Jack Dorrie were on the menu that day. Overall, it's definitely value for money, and quality food.

Great family friendly restaurant. Good quality in food with great and fast service. Food is tasty, good portions and good wine list. The restaurant it's quite big with indoor and outdoor area as well as a bar in case you have to wait a bit for the table. The slightly elevated food won't decive you!

Ordered a light lunch here recently. Sat at one of their outdoor tables to the front on the beautiful Placa des Pins. The food was fresh, delicious and well presented - would recommend the Tuna Tartare - and the service from the waiter was also very attentive.

We got this restaurant recommended by our Airbnb host who lived in Ciutadella. It was awesome. Amazing service, great food and very relaxing atmosphere. The waitress was very professional and gave us valuable suggestions. We got four plates to share and it was a good amount of food. Special compliment to chef for shrimp tartar and octopus (it was particularly tender!).
