"We chanced upon this restaurant near our homestay and were impressed with the food and hospitality. The English-speaking chef recommended a few signature dishes such as grilled octopus, pork with clams, and local fish fillets. The warm hospitality of the host and chef made us feel incredibly welcomed. Highly recommended."
