1 month agoOnly open at lunch time. But great friendly family run restaurant. All food cooked fresh to order. We had set menu of the the day. Bread, olives, pate to start. Then mixed salad, freshly cooked dourada & salmon on the char grill & new potatoes. Fresh pineapple & wafer cake for dessert. & ½lt of red wine all for £40. Delicious.

3 years agoIt is one of my favorite restaurant in town. Isabella can cook anything, she is expert at grilling fish. From July to August she has the best sardines. And all the rest of the year she always has some great dish od the day. The place is tiny so be on time, it fulls up rapidly. Prices are good, quality is here.

2 years agoStopped for lunch today. It is a beautiful Saturday afternoon and reviews led us here. There was a language barrier but said to surprise us (in hand gestures). What a perfect surprise of grilled fish, potatoes, salad, wine and dessert. 10 out of 10 recommend!
