Delicious fresh seafood grilled really well. Chef was also happy octopus instead of calamari in my platter. Atmosphere is a bit busy as kite surfing, jet skiing and other activities are coordinated from the area and beach boys might bug you with a circus performance but the food is worth it

A truly charming place with an authentic and welcoming atmosphere. The fish is excellent – fresh and perfectly cooked. Prices are very reasonable, and the food is a real treasure, all served right in front of the sea. I can only recommend it!

We visited this restaurant several times, and it has always been an excellent experience! The atmosphere is great, and the service is outstanding. The waiter was extremely friendly, explaining the menu in detail and even accommodating special requests. His recommendations were spot-on. I highly recommend the seafood platter, seafood salad, and the crispy fried calamari – all absolutely delicious. The lobster was cooked to perfection, and the "catch of the day" served with rice was a real highlight. If you're looking for fresh seafood, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere, this is definitely the place to be! We will gladly come back again.

Greatvplace to enjoy a beverage and samosa. We did have an evening meal that was primarily fish/ seafood. Being at the local fisherman coop. Getting the catch of the day is a given.
