“ Had one of the best meals of my life here. Absolutely perfect. Chef and staff are very pleasant. Delicious fish, good rice, and yummy cookies. Definitely recommend ”
“ This is nice restaurant for lunch. Service was a bit slow and the waiter did not speak English so Google translate was useful. Food was well presented, good portions and tasted good (despite some of the fish only being warm). Overall, we would recommend once you're prepared to take your time. ”
“ Visited in July with my Canadian SIL. We are French residents. This is our go to restaurant with visitors. As always food was amazing, fish was cooked to perfection, mussels were fantastic. SIL had the fish burger, which was huge but delicious. Would highly recommend. ”
