The service was excellent throughout, attentive without being intrusive, which matched the overall laid back atmosphere perfectly. The space itself has a lot of personality, with beautiful art on the walls and an array of products on display that would make for great souvenirs or gifts. We ordered an espresso, cappuccino, a pink panther strawberry smoothie and a freshly squeezed orange juice, all of which hit the spot. On the food side, the breakfast burrito and the earth delight, a lovely combination of yogurt, granola, fruit, honey, croissant and jams, were both fantastic. The staff even brought out an award winning hot sauce to go alongside the burrito, a small but memorable touch. The crowd added to the charm too. A guy quietly working on his laptop with his dog nearby pretty much sums up the energy of this place. Calm, unpretentious and enjoyable. A great spot to ease into the day.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The chef prepares some of the very best food we have eaten in the area and everything has a very personal touch including our first wonderful experience of Mango Tiramisu! We were also very surprised with the bill which was reasonable to say the least. A courtesy glass of port made this for us the best experience in this lovely small town! Very highly recommended. High quality food for a very modest price.

Gunther is hit and miss. We have had a few good meals there and a few disappointments…read more On a few occasions, the food was heavily over salted, so much so that it was difficult to eat. The steaks are pretty good, but the portion size has been disappointing for the price. We attended their Valentine's Day dinner (€25/each) and were extremely disappointed. The ´Sweethearts´Bruschetta was two small, heart shaped slices of bread (one each), slightly toasted with melted cheese and tomatoes on one and peppers on the other. For our entrees, my wife had the ´Caresses of Chicken´, a flat heart shaped chicken breast covered in a salty sauce of unknown origin and melted mozzarella cheese and I the ´Nuptial Hake with Leeks and Cream´a miniscule piece of fish topped with a so-so sauce, both coming with a small side of potato in the form of a heart. Our dessert was a small ´Berry Tartellete´ which was okay, but nothing special. We were still hungry when we got home and promptly raided the refrigerator. Like many we know, we probably will not be going back any time soon. Not long after our meal, I was accosted by the owner, Gunther, who started yelling at me, telling me I was driving too fast on the road in front of the restaurant. He must have gotten me confused with another red Renault Clio driver, as there are many around, because I go with the flow of traffic, same as anybody on that road.

The chicken satay was very dry and no flavor at all. It definitely needed the satay sauce it came with to help swallow it. It almost got stuck in my throat because it was so dry. The grilled fish was also tasteless. The mixed grill plate had ribs, pork belly, and sausage. It was the best thing on the menu, but needed flavor. Olive oil and vinegar to the rescue. The chicken bunny chow was so bad. It tasted like old bottled curry spice. The burger and fries were good though, because it was doused with burger sauce. Would I recommend the line and wait? Definitely not.

It is the kind of place that sticks with you long after you leave. We stopped by just for ice cream and it did not disappoint, delicious and a perfect match for a warm day by the rocks. The staff were friendly and upbeat, which made the whole stop feel easy and enjoyable. One practical tip worth mentioning is that if you plan on taking your ice cream to go, finding a garbage can in the area is surprisingly difficult. Better to sit down and enjoy it there, which honestly is the right call anyway given the views.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

There are dozens of stairs to get down to the restaurant, so it is not wheelchair accessible. It is literally at the end of the cliff, down by the water, tucked in between cliffs.
