This restaurant is in the north of the city, near the Paseo de la Castellana and the Plaza Cuzco. Although the decor and atmosphere of this small bistro doesn't please everybody's tastes its urban garden terrace has many fans during the summer months. Pitila Mosquera (Galician) and Carlos Hormaechea (Basque), opened this establishment in 1972. The restaurant is named after their son, now the director of the restaurant.
Sacha Hormaechea runs a modern kitchen, producing high quality dishes for his clients using simple tried and tested methods and top quality ingredients with excellent results. Daily specials always a good option. Varied menu with clear Galician influences (not to mention Basque - Catalan touches).
Laureano López is the director of the efficient table service. Interesting wine list. Very good liquers. High prices. reservations well in advance recommended.
