"Un restaurante imprescindible en Segura de la Sierra. La comida es espectacular, con productos de primera y un toque casero que marca la diferencia. Los dueños son unos grandes profesionales, atentos y cercanos, que hacen que te sientas como en casa. No podéis iros sin probar el codillo y el revuelto Leiva, dos platos excelentes. Sin duda, repetiré en mi próxima visita."

"A perfect spot in this mountain town. My partner and I were riding our bikes through the national parks and stopped here for the night. This restaurant was a pleasant surprise with friendly service from Jésus, delicious food and a lovely setting. We ordered the roasted lamb and cuttlefish and would recommend"

"Un restaurante maravilloso. Tranquilo. Servicio amable y rápido. La comida de Jesús y Nelly es delicada, refleja el amor que le ponen a sus platos. Y cantidad suficiente para saciar a cualquiera. Nada de cuadros pintados en el plato que con solo olerlos se acaban. Tras repetir varias veces he vuelto a mi casa subido de peso. Cordero y ajoatao no se pueden olvidar."

"Fuimos un martes a las 20:00 y era el único bar-restaurante abierto a esa hora. El camarero nos atendió con un trato súper cercano y amable. Pregunté si podía llevar dos cafés y no hubo ningún problema,todo lo contrario, fueron muy atentos. Además cuentan con bebida de avena. El sitio me pareció grande, acogedor y con una carta variada y buenos precios. ¡Muy recomendable!"

"While in the town, this place was one of the only two restaurants that were open, so, I was a bit afraid to dine here. It all turned out well, there are mainly traditional Spanish dishes on the menu, they serve very nice freshly baked bread and the wine is perfect the only drawback was the presence of some rude (inebriated) locals- but that’s not anyone’s fault really."
