Fresh local fish restaurant. Simple but very friendly service, fair prices. If you're not looking for fancy this could work for you. Makes sense to come and ask what they have fresh or order for next day

Had a good tafi fish with roasted potatoes, the service was friendly and the atmosphere relaxed.

We went for dinner and overall everything was fine. We ordered a seafood platter with crab, prawns, squid, and fish. Everything was tasty except for the squid, which was a bit tough. After dinner, we ordered octopus and a lobster for the next day. The man told us he would call in the morning to confirm whether the fisherman could get them. The next morning he called to say they had octopus but couldn’t get the lobster. We told him we would go anyway. The surprise came when, after traveling there with a small child, he told us that due to another reservation they no longer had octopus or basically anything else—only rabbitfish. We then asked for some fries for the child, but he returned from the kitchen saying they didn’t have that either. In the end, we only paid for the drinks and left. I find it very poor service to confirm by phone that they had what we ordered, only to tell us the opposite when we arrived. We also noticed a large table already reserved, so it’s very likely that after speaking with us they booked that group and kept the available food for them, leaving aside what we had ordered in advance.

Found this place among recommended price-friendly at TripAdvisor. When we got there for lunch (2pm) we were the only customers (it felt a bit awkward in the beginning). However we received a warm service from the owner. He informed that some positions in the menu were not available, and made a recommendation. We ended up ordering Seafood plate of 4: octopus, crab, prawn and lobster + additional grilled prawns that go with rice and potatoes (not on the photo). As a complement, chef offered us fresh vegetables salad. Overall food was delicious and sufficient for the group of 3! Our bill was 4200 (seafood platter of 4, grilled prawns and 2 beers) Strongly recommend this place for a Seafood lovers!

Great little local food find. If you want that experience, it's fresh seafood and had no issues after! Not exactly on the beach front but close and you're really here for the food.
