Innovative Cuisine
TheForkUserWe really enjoyed our dinner at this restaurant. The ambience in the historic building was great and was surpassed by the delicious food. The variety and sophistication of the dishes left nothing to be desired. We particularly liked the innovative combinations of fish, fruit and herbs. The restaurant crew were extremely attentive and caring. And luckily for us, they were also able to give us all the good tips and recommendations in English. Not a matter of course in this holiday region, as we found out several times.We can highly recommend the restaurant and would go there again at any time.

TheForkUserThis is our second time at Daria - last time, although the food was delicious we over ordered and couldn’t eat anything. This time, the very helpful staff advised us on how much to order and even gave us half portions of a couple of things which was great. The food is rich, full of taste and we loved it.

TheForkUserGood food. slightly on the expensive side for the size of the portions. We had the rice menu. The guy (guessing the owner) wasn’t very welcoming. Seemed like he was annoyed that we arrived early and then annoyed at another couple that they arrived late. The female server was great and charming

TheForkUserSimply excellent - great food from Cantabria, well-timed and well-spirited service. The experience was, again, very good and it is impressive how the Chef manages to create this surprising, yet extremely well tasting creations! Certainly a Chef that is aiming for more (stars) and that would be, given it all, well deserved. This was the second and not the last time in this restaurant.

TheForkUserThe food was exceptional. Starters of scallops and a fish / potato mash in a scallop shell were large and very tasty, main course of roast suckling kid was very special. The staff were all very friendly and helpful (one waitress did have a problem managing a smile, but that made us try all the more to make her!). Atmosphere was very good, and all reasonably priced especially to eat in such a lovely building.
