Restaurant · breakfast & lunch

Dining under the hummingbirds.

The hostel is a neighbourhood restaurant too: local cooking, a family atmosphere and tables among painted birds. The menu changes, so you ask.

Reception and till: a yellow counter decorated with colourful lizards and a wall of wooden blocks with “Hostal de la 57” hand-lettered on it.

Four corners to sit in.
