Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"He podido volver después de dos años (vivo a 500 km.) y, como siempre, espectacular. Los pimientos del piquillo con lascas de bacalao y el revuelto con gulas son platos fijos que conozco y pido siempre: nunca defraudan. Hemos probado está vez los espárragos confitados y también deliciosos De segundo el solomillo, excepcional y tierno como él solo. También las lechecillas, las chuletas al sarmiento y la pluma Ibérica son platos a destacar. Para mi gusto es uno de los restaurantes de La Rioja que son fijos siempre que vengo, y no dejaré de hacerlo. Lástima que no abran todo el año. Gracias a Guillermo por la calidad de las preparaciones y a Cristina por el servicio."
"Vinimos hace un año por la recomendación de un amigo.Nos encantó…es un ambiente muy agradable,tranquilo e acogedor. La palabra que se me ocurre de la comida es “excepcional”. Hoy es la segunda vez que pasamos camino a Sendaviva y sigo opinando lo mismo: Un sitio muy especial,recomendable 100%"
"Estuve hace una semana con mis aitas y salimos de el restaurante contentísimos, una calidad buenísima, el camarero con un animo que te anima el día y cantidades buenas para no salir como una bola. Sin duda voy a volver mas veces por que ha sido el mejor sitio donde he comido en la rioja!"
"Local pequeño acogedor , música clásica ambienta. El trato del personal es EXCELENTE y la comida EXCEPCIONAL. Producto sencillo, alta calidad y hecho al punto. Un lugar ideal para DISFRUTAR"
"El lugar tiene muchísimo encanto, el servicio por parte de la camarera inmejorable y cercano. La comida deliciosa de disfrutar cada plato cocinado con mucho esmero. La verdad que totalmente aconsejable comer aquí."
"My favorite restaurant in Spain. Small intimate and with excellent food and service in the heart of the Rioja Alta. A little hard to find but worth the effort. Once you see the 2nd century Roman bridge you're almost there."
"Great food, service and ambience. A unique & unassuming place where everyone & everything was just perfect!"
"Small and cozy. We had a lovely meal here, the food was prepared really well and the service was also good. I really enjoyed the “pluma ibérica”, delicious! Good choices of wine. My only remark would be that if you go with children who are fussy eaters there is practically nothing for them to eat. Outside there is a lovely area for swimming in the river during summer months."
