Very nice local restaurant. I highly recommend. I had a delicious Pargo fish (grilled)
Some of the best fish I eat in my life. Cheap and best food!!! I will comeback !!!
Great place, delicious food, very nice staff and affordable prices. It's all you need.
I found this via a Guide Book...and decided to seek it out. In all honesty...you`d probably walk straight past it its not on any main drag etc...just an ordinary building next to a bus stop. But SO glad we did! Its nothing really fancy... but you get a feeling of authenticity. I`d read previous reviews...which tbf...I take with a pinch of salt. Us Brits in particular sometimes want things on OUR terms or we complain. I think you have to EMBRACE where you go...we did. SO... shown to a table... it was pretty quiet tbh..7.15pm on a Tues in late May. Waitress shows you to the Fish Counter which has a sparkling array of fresh seafood... and basically...yer just point out what yer fancy and its cooked on the grill behind...we thought this was GREAT... At the table you are brough a tray of Tomato/Onion?Garlic salad with bread... I could have just eaten that tbh! Now... heres a tip...make sure you tell them when you point your fish out...that you want Sides... ie Potatoes /Chips etc. Our waitress spoke very little english...but it was fun trying to get across what we hanted. We got a bowl of boiled pots and some chips (fries)... Got couple carafes of wine. The fish was GORGE! I had Dorado , Sis had Salmon and my friend had Oysters...a platter of EIGHT came and me eyes were rolling round like a cartoon dog with signs in!! We LOVED it! The Bill... total for Four of us was a whopping.... are you ready? FIFTY SEVEN EUROS! couldnt believe it..probably be double that down on the Marina. What I might suggest is to go on a Lunch time (12 2pm) because then you get a TOTAL pick of whats in the Fridge...for instance..there was no sardines left at night time...so its just whats left. Evenings are 7pm 10pm. In conclusion...if you are looking for something a bit more authentic should we say... and a little bit quirky...this is the place for you. I`d HIGHLY recommend it
