"We walked in just as they opened. We didn’t make a reservation but I suggest you do. They are busy and we were lucky there was a festival going on so at opening they had room. Later was packed with locals. Our service was amazing. She suggested amazing wine and assisted with my menu choice. We had anchovies to share. A must have in cantabria. Best in the world!!!! My husband already knew what he wanted (if there is Octopus it is his). My fish was amazing. She suggested amazing desserts. They have a cinnamon dessert which is my husband’s favorite spice. And I had their take on a mille-feuille. So yummy. The custard and coffee influenced caramel was fantastic. I really appreciated their letting us stay extra time because it was pouring rain outside. Definitely a revisit when we are back!!!"

"Mesón entrañable, que tras esa entrada que recuerda al medievo esconde un acogedor restaurante, con unos camareros educados y atentos, y buena comida. El lechazo bastante bueno, así como el cocido montañés. El precio del menú muy ajustado. El hojaldre con crema tenía tan buena pinta que hasta se me olvidó hacerle la foto, de ahí que solo quede la mitad en la fotografía."

"Buen sitio para comer muy tranquilo, tardan en servir, bastante, pero si vienes sin prisas está muy bien. Comimos menú chuletón: ensalada de setas, secos y foie; croquetas caseras; chuletón con patatas; milhojas y botella crianza rioja. Todo muy rico, rico a un buen precio. Si vengo a Laredo, volveré."
