Food Scene
Reasonably-priced fixed menu, lovely tapas-style dishes, meat & fish options which are very fresh and seasonal. The personal service is brilliant and the atmosphere make it the perfect local dining venue. Live music on Friday evenings and Sunday lunchtimes in the bar of the hotel. It's there if you want it, although it does not interfere with your dining experience.
