“ The service is run by a family; Laura and Kosti and they have Saba hired seasonally. They tend to treat people as if they were from home.... Us because they know us, but for outsiders, they provide all the facilities so that they can enjoy a good stay. The food is generally homemade and the menu is well prepared... And very tasty Everyone who goes there says that it is good quality-price-service. As for the dishes, they are all very good and well-complemented; therefore, you will not leave hungry... You will not leave. Sure! Also, a plus, considering that the Bar-Restaurant has a good terrace overlooking the entire Plaça de Sant Pere (El Prat for locals) and that it is located in the tourist area; Old Town. I have been coming to this bar for years; I have always liked it for its location and for easily finding people from the town there to have a coffee, a steak, breakfast or a good lunch. ”
