Finest view from all the nearby restaurants. Try to get a table outside it is worth it! The view is just amazing. The food was amazing as well! Start with the soup of the day to refresh yourself! We had the baked red salmon and pork tropicana. Both were very delicious! For desert I would recommend the Passion Fruit Mouse, refreshing and just hits the sweet spot!

Great spot to enjoy a meal with an uninterrupted view of the sea! The food was great. We had spaghetti bolagnese, lasagne and garlic bread with a bottle of wine for less than 50 euros. We had quite a wait for our food as they made a mistake with our order but the lady was very apologetic and gave us a free glass of wine each which was much appreciated. The male servers need some lessons in manners! Not great for wheelchair users as the toilets are downstairs.

This is a great view from a conclave that also has decent food and decent service. The team are pleasant and polite and the drinks are good and well balanced. The food is good, and tasty, but avoid the pork steaks they taste like reconstituted meat so not a fan. The prawns really good the starters really good and the service is really good.

Very picturesque view. Managed to get the table outside by the “window”. Although I assume in the summer time it may not be as easy. The waiter was very nice and welcoming, his style was to call girls “baby”. I personally didn’t mind but some may find it less appropriate I guess. The food was good and adapted to my changes, but not the souse, had the alternative in the side.

A very nice place to enjoy the sea without anything blocking the view. The baked sol was absolutely incredible, the pizza was rather sub par, (but my partner loves deep pan doughy/not fully cooked pizzas, so she loved it)
