乖小咪:“Santander Cathedral is an ancient church with a history of more than 300 years. It is a typical Spanish building with a Byzantine style. The whole church is very simple and elegant, and the interior decoration is also very luxurious. It is definitely one of the famous attractions in Santander. Don't miss it.”

TheForkUser:“This 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.”

TheForkUser:“We 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.”

TheForkUser:“Good 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”

TheForkUser:“The special Mother's Day menu exceeded our expectations. The trotters with cod were much better than we imagined. The lasagna with Tudanca beef is also worth mentioning. The cheesecake is impressive. A mention of the exquisite service goes both to the waiter who served us upstairs and to the person who told us the menu over the phone. It's a pleasure to go to a restaurant.”

TheForkUser:“Simply 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.”
