We stopped by just to get a cappucino and were taken aback 20 years. Not because the place is old…read moreor not well maintained, but because it suddenly felt as if we were backpacking again. Our baby was asleep in the car, so we could have a relaxed very early dinner (or very late lunch) surrounded by locals and served by two lovely middle aged men. The food was definitely good, the offerings plenty and everything had so much heart that we could feel it with every cell of our bodies. An incredible last moment to a great day trip. I hope they keep it up and stay true to what they offer here: down to earth eating experience that will have you dreaming of times past (at least if you're around 40 now).

Unfortunately I have to rate this place relatively low, as the food I had was really good. They…read moreadvertise themselves as a restaurant for slow food and by God slow it was! The one waitress on duty during our visit was not able at all to handle all the tables simultaneously and we had to wait sooooo long until our food arrived that we had almost given up on it. Which should have been a warning but then it tasted so good and we wanted some desert. Most tables seemed to have been served by then so we felt we could take the risk. But first it took an eternity until we could place the order for two pieces of cake and two coffees and after we were still waiting for them half an hour later we simply gave up! Really sad, as the place is otherwise quite nice.... At least if you don't sit in the music crossfire between what is played in the restaurant and what the kitchen staff is blasting from their corner.

Buying their fish from port and growing as much of their own veg as possible. If it can be home made it is ! Right down the delicious garlic mayo and tartar sauce . We had the Grilled Sole special and the Mussels El Golfo. Perfectly cooked great tasting cuisine.... The next day we returned and started with a shell fish soup. It was more stew like than soup and more fish,squid and prawns than shell fish but it was perfect and so tasty I ended up licking the bowl clean ! She had some tomatoe soup which was divine but not in the same class of my shellfish. For mains I had a grilled fish platter. I couldn't tell you exactly what was there but I can say there were five or six types on my plate and it was all very very nice. The trump card for this establishment is their pricing. We spent less than 15 quid for two courses with wine. Which for food of this quality is a bargain !
