our host Pedro couldnt do enough for us and the homemade dumplings was the highlight, and handy if youre short on time, and we hit 6 tastings.

our host Dmitri was nice enough, but a glass of the local red felt a bit rushed honestly, and not as good as the one we did in Marrakech tbh.

our host Priya was brilliant and a fish taco from a tiny street stall was the highlight ... Booked it for my birthday so it wasnt too busy. Worked great for a solo traveller like me, and rolled home properly stuffed, and on a rainy sunday. Would book again no question.
