Woaw, que sorpresa! Everything was excellent, really worth it driving up the hill! Loved it!

Had dinner in the bar area and was completely blown away! One of the best meals that I. Have had in Spain! Absolutely delicious! You need to try their croquetas and the oxtail sliders!! Yum yum!

Nice place, close to the Sanctuary. Breñas menu is great. Quality elaborate food in 12 small bites. Service was correct, efficient, and with smooth timing. Good overall experience.

Unfortunately the cook was already gone but great service and nice people. Still want to go :-)

Highly recommdable. We had dinner at the terrace and it was great. We ordered different raciones, all of great quality and finesse.

Probably one of the best restaurants in Spain. Beautiful place, awesome food and very kind treat.

Top Restaurant with innovative Chef, excellent Sommelier and super Service!!! Menu degustation is a must

An unforgettable lunch! Stunning views, impeccable service, and exquisite cuisine - every bite was a delight. A truly exceptional experience!
