Bar/Restaurante de barrio, con menú diario de un solo plato (1o, 2o, postre, pan y bebida), pero lo que tenga de menú, no te decepcionara. Cada día hay un menú diferente, todo casero. Muy bien elaborado, platos sabrosos y buenas cantidades. El menú que probamos, fue ensalada verde con vinagreta de mostaza de dijon, costillar iberico (se deshacia, sabroso) y piña colada, marinado con vino blanco. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente. Los sábados y festivos, no hay menú y hay un variado de tapas, según temporada. Por la mañana puedes probar el bocadillo de pan de maiz con jamon, riquisimo.

La Maria te una cura excepcional de totes les mesures de seguretat per fer de la seva cafeteria un local súpersegur. La neteja és impecable, has d’esperar que netegi o repassi la taula i les cadires per seure, els terres, totes les superfícies, els lavabos,.... netíssim i desinfectats. Pel que fa al menjar, els seus famosos entrepans, i tot el que serveix, ho cuida amb un mimo que et fa sentir com a casa! Estar allà i disfrutar del menjar i la seva companyia i la de tota la “parròquia” que omple sempre la cafeteria és un plaer!!!!!
