"Eating in an atmosphere of the old part of town is captivating. Beautiful area, delicious food and polite servers overcome the lack of good desserts, that are although present on the pictures in google posts, are not present any more ( hopefully they will reappear). All of these made a pleasant memory"
Pavlo Mospan
"Located in old port area, excellent views of water and easy to access from the street. Definitely a locals place based on the clientele at the time. The waitress seemed to know several of the customers.
Mussels, burger, pasta and fish chips ordered. All very well cooked and flavored. Prices matched those of the area and we left very happy with full stomachs for our journey.
Worth a stop if looking for a nice lunch."
