Why Travelers Love Cera 23
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Excellent dishes and service, prices a bit high but still very good value. Dishes are generous, so order a few and split them. Ask for wine recs if you’re unsure. Recommended. Lovely experience. Was able to seat a large group of 7, with reservations. Very friendly and helpful to accommodate an allergy. Lots of good plate options. We ordered a bit of everything to share and had a lovely dining experience. The manager? was able to offer red wine recommendations and we enjoyed the blackberry mojitos. What a wonderful restaurant! We booked this last minute and were so pleased. A cute dinning area and exceptional service are apparent from the start. We split two appetizers and two entrees plus some wine and bread etc for under 100!!! That’s crazy good value. The food is exceptional! Tomato tartare and grilled eggplant appetizers were creatives d exceptionally tasty and well presented. For mains we had a braised beef cheeks which was served with the creamiest potatoes and ribs! I had been eating all sorts of other parts of the humble Iberian pig, tonight it was the ribs turn. Tasty, fall off the one, melt in your mouth with a very delicious flavour. If the price point agrees with you, go here.

This place was insane, every dish was perfectly balanced, honestly Michelin-level stuff. You have to try the mushroom risotto and foie gras ravioli, both were unreal 😍 The risotto’s one of those dishes you could eat every single day. And shoutout to Nadia, she was super lovely and made our lunch even better!

Wonderful place and the food tremendous. We had the eggplant and scallops for an appetizer and both were delicious! For the main course we had the prawns and sea bass entree which were also delicious and wonderful presentation. The French toast was plenty to split between two and also very, very good! I had a beer and for 3 euros was a huge glass. I highly recommend this restaurant without any reservations and speaking of which, we arrived at 5:30 and had no problem getting seated. It’s probably packed at 8:00pm.
