\u201cAnd beyond the savings – which is also appreciated – the aim of this tapas bar in Torremolinos is to win the sympathy of its diners, \u2018and for them to leave with a good taste in the mouth\u2019.”<\/p>\n
The discount of one cent is rewarded for a customers’ smiles, patience, kindness, generosity and a positive recommendation.<\/p>\n
The article added: \u201cThe surprise comes when you ask for the bill. At that moment, when they check it, many tables suddenly break into smiles.\u201d<\/p>\n

One client said: \u201cExcellent food, excellent prices and all round amazing little place.\u201d<\/p>\n
They added: \u201cWe will certainly be back at this restaurant in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another said: \u201cVery friendly staff. Exceptional. Great food. Highly recommended. We had an excellent time here. Nothing was too much trouble. Will certainly return.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cExcellent food, couldn\u2019t fault the service, friendly, polite and lastly great value for money, what else could you want.<\/p>\n
\u201cEasy to see why it\u2019s rated so highly. We\u2019ll be back, definitely,\u201d wrote another.<\/p>\n
\u200cTalking to SUR, the owner explained that he was inspired by a restaurant in Barcelona that thanks customers in advance for their reviews.<\/p>\n
He said: “They thanked their diners in advance for recommending them, but they didn’t give them a discount. I thought that this small discount would be funny and have more impact.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat’s how I decided to add it. If we have a bad day, which we sometimes do, they’re more forgiving as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Guibet has been running the bar since 2020.<\/p>\n
