“ Tonbo Tei is a fantastic Japanese restaurant in the heart of all the great activities of Merida. The atmosphere, menu and service is wonderful. All of the staff is lovely but I have been lucky to have been served by Mike twice, in the last two days... Mike’s English is perfect (and he is working on Italian too), be sure to ask him for menu recommendations, especially the deserts which sometimes are not all listed ”
