Truly special experience, the food is exceptional, many local wine options, the mountain views are breathtaking and the service is amazing. It was so wonderful we went twice in the same trip, once for lunch and once for dinner. Every dish was memorable, figs in season were divine, duck exceptional, lamb and fish wonderful too. 5+ experience, extra points for making my brother’s birthday more special. Book in advance, you will not be disappointed.

Michelin guide for a reason. Ran by a lovely husband and wife team who really care about hosting a great dining experience.

A rotating menu with some staples which stick around and a view you could never get bored of. The only issue is getting a table!

Absolutely wonderful! Beautiful location and a lovely welcome from the couple who run this. The food is absolutely magnificent. The foie gras was melt in your mouth, the lamb was so tender and the praline and chocolate dessert was exquisite. A vast selection of wines and local produce! We will definitely be going back!!

So delicious and welcoming, with beautiful views. Already can't wait for another visit.

Simply the most delicious, high quality meal we have had in a long time. It was honestly that good. Small restaurant, which you need to book in advance. They have only 6 tables on the balcony with a great view of the northern valleys. White gazpacho with prawns my wife was stunned how this was, my main - beef entrecôte. We rarely have dessert but this time we did and we’re not disappointed

A delicious gem of a restaurant. Hellen and Barry are a great team; service is warm and friendly and the food is delightful. Beautiful flavour combinations duck with beetroot and apple, chicken with pistachios and every plate looked like a work of art. Wine list is excellent with plenty of local choice. Only a handful of tables so you must book ahead. Highly recommend!

Lovely little restaurant which will be the highlight of any trip to Gaucin. The food is delicious and beautifully presented, the wine menu is great and the couple running the place is very welcoming. As we visited in the winter, the terrace was not opened - I guess we’ll have to come back!

A culinary island was created on the small cosy terrace with a wonderful view of the Sierra Crestellina and the Sierra de Grazalema. We were impressed by the excellent advice, the very good service, the mainly regional products and the great cooking. We will definitely be back!

Amazing place! Well worth visiting if in Gaucin or close by. Great food, good prices and the owners are lovely 😊

A truly outstanding experience!
The service was attentive and engaging, the food was simply divine. We had a couple of dishes from the normal menu and I ordered the pork cheeks from the specials. Wow!
The wine was incredibly reasonably priced and beautiful. The standard was very high indeed and at the end of the meal, the owner came to offer us one of three wonderful home made aperitifs.
It was everything I look for in a restaurant, my wife and I had a superb evening and hope to return to the area to sample this top-level hospitality again soon!

This is a small and high quality restaurant in a beautiful setting. The couple who run it make one feel at home with a cheerful reception and personal service. The food is good value and first class (Michelin guide Bib) and the total dining experience is one of the best I have ever experienced.

Amazing meal and fantastic service. Probably the best meal we had in Gaucin and very fairly priced. Fancy without being ridiculous! Tasty and well presented food. Super views from the terrace. And the chef's homemade liqueur was to die for!

Fantastic food, absolutely delicious!

The hosts were so invested and kind - precious ambience!

Would highly highly recommend! (Even if you have to make a longer drive!)

Even though we were just looking for a coffee, we ended up having a 3 course lunch here, just because it was so awesome. From the perfect service of the owners of this place (speaking easily more than 4 languages) to a really nice atmosphere, we really enjoyed our time here.

Unfortunately the terrace was closed due to the cold weather in late November but sitting inside was just fine with nice touches of wood everywhere.

The best though was probably the food itself with a great selection of different foods on the menu, everything interesting and a bit off the beaten track. I chose a Tomate tartar with goat cheese as a starter and had a venison stew with sweet potato and celeriac as a main. Everything was just great!

Would definitely come back every time and wish the owners all the best for the future.

Fantastic little Restaurant. Both food and service are amazing. The atmosphere is almost family like as there is only place for around 15 people at once. Upon leaving, we immediately reserved a table again.

Excellently cooked classic dishes with local ingredients. Relaxed small terrace and they cater only a few covers per evening. Lovely views and hosts! We would seek it out if in the area again.

This has to be one of the best restaurants I have been to in a very long time.

Impeccable service and food that is some of the best I have ever had clearly made with passion and a lot of thought into how things work together.

The menu is simple and seasonal

A beautiful little restaurant with a panoramic terrace - and just a few outside tables. Reservations are a must but the quality of the food, the service and value for money is second to none. A real treat. The best confit duck I’ve ever tasted (and it’s one of my favourite things in life!), my husband was converted to aubergines so good were they and the choices from the daily specials as well as the normal menu were amazing. It just such a treat to dine here. Congrats to Barry and Helen for this little gem.

Splendid view, amazing hospitality and the best duck 🦆

A gem of a restaurant in the mountains of Gaucin where Hellen and Barry demonstrate what gastronomy, customer care and ambience is all about.
