“ Lovely little restaurant, which was well worth hopping off the dual-carriageway for. Importantly, they tolerated our active kids very well! :) Great view of the sea too. Had a gorgeous salad that was unbelievably fresh and tasty. And some mixed seafood full of things I never thought I'd eat, but did and enjoyed it too (bits of octopus!). Delicious. ”
“ Nice food a lot of food, by the sea side , 1 plate of fish for 1 person ”
“ Restraint bar located right at the beach in a quiet small town. Amazing sea food, paella is their speciality. The owner is very friendly and comes to meet customers when he gets some free time from the kitchen. It’s a quiet beach and worth a stop for lunch or a beach visit. The beach is not sandy but has pebbles. Food 4/5 Atmosphere 4/5 Service 4/5 ”
“ Really lovely spot with glorious ocean views, great food and service. We had the paella and loved it. Watched a pod of dolphins about 200 meters off shore; was a great night ”
“ I've been here for 20 years and this was the best mixed fried fish I've ever had. Friendly staff, beautiful coastline view and reasonable prices. Highly recommended. ”
