A one star Michelin should know how to cut and slice a seabass or an entrecôte steak to avoid serving it over cooked and dry. Slices should be thicker than 1 CM and Ricardo should be humble enough to listen to constructive clients who have been eating fish and steak for almost 50 years. Instead he acted as if a seabass filet should look and be cooked like lamb chops... Otherwise good wine list fairly priced. Still, all in, a disappointing experience. Maybe that is why it wasn’t full on high season. Good luck and all the best,

I thought it was a joke. We were doing a trip to a couple of Michelin star restaurants in the region and this one was definetly the worse one. We came to El Retiro lured by good reviews and one Michelin star. We asked the waiters if they can offer us a tasting menu without meat. They happily said yes and we started. It all begun very nice with 3 meticulous starters. Delicious! But what came after that was a joke! A piece of hard avocado, then a fish, then another fish very similar in taste and texture and then a platter of very strong cheeses! If you are a Michelin star restaurant and you offer a modified version of your tasting menu, you should think it over. It made no sense. We felt cheated. On top, you charge an extra 5 euros for a very mediocre bread. I would not recommend this place and I'm very surprised you still have the star.

Excellent Michelin star restaurant, great champagne selection (even dough I missed the ‘Blanc de Blancs’ 100% Chardonnay options), nice decorations and professional staff. I loved the oysters and the red tuna & sardines plate; the sweets are also great as they aren’t excessively sweet and they propose very interesting tastes. To get the restaurant from Llanes is very easy, it’s just a 5 mins trip in a cab or 15mins walk.
