My family and I stopped in here for lunch during our visit from the US since we were missing Asian flavors toward the end of our time in Spain. We consider ourselves experts in Thai cuisine as we eat it often and this is one of the best places we have been in the world! The restaurant was decorated so nicely and the service was great, but the food was clearly the star. Since there was a large group of us, we were able to sample several of the dishes.

I'm dying to try the rest of the items on the full menu--they are all delicious standard dishes in nice Thai restaurants throughout Thailand (I worked in Bangkok for a year and the food was amazing).
