Frommer's Review

This well-run and popular Salamanca restaurant, named after an African tree yet decorated in a slick New York style, is known for its nueva cocina (nouvelle cuisine), attracting businessmen and -women for lunch and a trend-setting younger crowd in the evening. The Asian-fusion prawn rolls make a delightful starter, as does the white fish salad soused in a delightful sherry vinaigrette. For main courses, you can sample enticing dishes like marinated tuna steak (grilled to perfection) or eggplant lasagna served with fresh mushrooms and lots of creamy mozzarella. Seafood enthusiasts also appreciate the Atlantic coast merluza (hake) served in an asparagus sauce. Desserts are always tempting and the flans (caramel custards) are made fresh daily.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
