Chequered floors and exuberantly colourful table settings set a festive mood at this recently opened eatery in Villaviciosa's town centre. Sample a smorgasbord of tasty small plates, from tortos (maize cakes) topped with blood sausage and candied mango, to fried codfish with lime-wasabi mayonnaise, to steak with wild mushrooms – and save room for cheesecake at dessert time!
