What an amazing experience! This Cidreria comes with a lot of great products. Meat and fish bring you to heaven. The cider is worth the visit on its own. And the beautiful location of the restaurant comes on top of all this. Highly recommend to get there. We have been twice - one evening for meat and one for fish
