Excellent little street cafe. If you’re staying in the HI Express, do yourself a favour and walk across the park instead of the fast food restaurant next door.

I tried some places around, and this one is something to remember. Good food, good vibes, cold beer, amazing cayos and patatas with alioli. If you’re in Molins, this is a must.

A wonderful little restaurant across from the park. They have an outside space next to the park which is perfect for neighborhood families to gather. It is less than a five minute walk from Holiday Inn Express. Started with potatoes with a subtle aoli. Potatoes were lightly fried so they didn't seem heavy. Also order olive that were not pitted so they were full of flavor. For my main, I had the beef rib that just fell off the bone and melted in your mouth. The staff was very friendly. The owner does speak English. Highly recommend if you are staying at the Holiday Inn Express.

A very big surprise during our long trip through European countries like Italy and France. The best food ever! I highly recommend it to everyone.

Happened by chance into this charming cafe. Instantly fell in love with the people, atmosphere, food and service. Even as a foreigner, the owner treated me immediately like family. Highly recommended!
