We went for the lunch as was advertised outside €17.95 for 2meals, but when we sat by our table’s menu prices were different €18.95 for 2meals. I find that misleading for customers. Otherwise then that atmosphere and service was perfect.

Its high-class restaurant with excellent presentation and quality of food. Definitely food made not by ordinary chef.

I would highly recommend this place to visit if you’re food gurman of Mediterranean, but don’t bring your kids or teenagers with you. Better send them next door straight away...

I love the lunch menu options during the week — such a nice spot for a catch-up. The seafood dishes were gorgeous, especially the sea bass and the mussels. My friend really enjoyed the chicken supreme as well. And definitely don’t skip dessert: the chocolate cake, apple crumble, and sticky toffee pudding were all absolutely delicious. A very welcoming staff & attentive.
A lovely place with great food and a warm atmosphere.

We came here with friends and absolutely loved it. I can’t describe how delicious my pasta was, and then the tiramisu was just amazing 😋. The portion was very generous, and I was completely full afterwards. The staff were incredibly polite and attentive, making sure everything was perfect. I genuinely recommend this place! ⭐️
