Mar I Terra Restaurant Diner Reviews
"An old favourite from the days I worked nearby, some 20 years ago. It feels unchanged with classic tapas, tasty and authentic, and much better than the ordinariness of the setting makes one to expect. Excellent service, with the boss always around to greet you and chat like he did all those years ago."
