Fodor's Review:

This place has a relaxed, somewhat cramped bistro feel, its black-and-white scheme punctuated by prints from Luis Buñuel's classic anticlerical film, the restaurant's namesake. Iconoclast chef Abraham Garcia says "market-based" is too narrow a description for his creative menu, which changes every two weeks: standards include foie de pato con chutney defrutas (duck foie with fruit chutney) and huevos sobre mousse de hongos (eggs on a mushroom mousse). Or try the superb duck pâté drizzled with sherry and served with Sauternes or Tokay wine.
