La Movida

My partner and I had been there a couple of times for a quiet Saturday lunch. One day we had to find a nice restaurant in the area that could accomodate sixteen people. We decided to go for this.

The dinner was flawless, the kitchen took a while to get our orders out, but I think that you'd expect that anywhere with such a big group of people. The sangria wasn't that good, so after the first jar we went for an excellent (and reasonably priced) red wine.

The tapas were all delicious, as we remembered them to be, and good portions as well! I heard that the fish paella didn't match the expectations, but the hot chorizo was the best my mates had ever tried. I had the vegetarian option so I can't tell.

Service was also good, waitresses always looking after us even though the restaurant was full. I am giving 9 to food only because of what I heard about the paella and the sangria, it would have been a 10 otherwise.

Excellent value for money, this restaurant is definitely a gem.
