"Love this restaurant. Beautiful view of the lighthouse and bay in a quiet setting. Food was delicious. Very fresh and prepared. I had the mussels and davos salad and my husband had the octopus and sardines. My favorite meal so far on our trip."

"We visited this restaurant twice, and both times we were absolutely impressed. The staff were extremely friendly and even remembered us when we came back the second time, which made us feel very welcome. The atmosphere was also lovely, with a beautiful view.
The food was simply amazing, every dish was a great. We even got dessert on the house, which was such a nice surprise.
The restaurant offers great prices for delicious, high-quality fish. I can truly recommend paying this place a visit, it’s absolutely worth it!"
