“ Stumbled across this yummy tapas place after receiving bad service from elisabets (which is right opposite). Escac has quite a few vegetarian options and extensive tapas menu in English! Service was great too. theres 15% surcharge for sitting out on the Terrace. ”
“ Nice tapas just few minutes walk from main street. First place ever we met that we have to spread tomatoes on the bread- new experience too. Good variety of beers and friendly staff (multilingual, speak POLISH too) We ordered bread with tomato for 3of us, two beers, glass of wine and cheescake and paid 18.70 eur. Willing to come back there next time. Outside tables fully filled so others like it too. ”
“ A lovely and peaceful spot, serving delicious local tapas. The service was a bit rushed, as there was only one person handling both the inside and the terrace. With some sunshine, it’s the perfect place! ”
“ The tapas dishes are very tasty and quite large, especially the octopus. Sangria is also good. Service can be a bit slow, but the waiters are nice. ”
