Our mission today was to enjoy some delicious, traditional tapas – unfortunately, this experience did not live up to our expectations. While the restaurant offered various tapas options, we were sold a “tapas platter for two” that wasn’t even listed on the menu. We were promised around 20 different tapas, but this was not the case.
When the platter arrived, it certainly looked appealing at first glance, and the portions were extremely generous – in fact, far too much for two people. However, the overall impression was rather uninspired. Almost everything was either fried or grilled, with no sauces or variety to balance the flavors.

For someone who doesn't eat seafood, it will probably be something exotic. The amount of food was huge, but the quality was poor for such a...
