Don’t miss this place if you’re after really great seafood. Very genuine, warm and friendly staff, and best grilled fish I’ve had in many years (and I’ve had a lot). Also, if the season is right, make sure to ask for a suitable local Txakoli wine for your food. Delicious!

We shared a sea bass and a salad, the food was very good. The restaurant has a nice view. We came without a reservation and had to wait for about an hour for a table.

We had the monkfish which was grilled to perfection. Very fresh. Very tasty. We also had the grilled shrimps. Also cooked to perfection and so fresh and very sweet! Tomato and tuna fish salad was a nice surprise because it sounded kind of plain but the tuna was very nice. Although the restaurant was full, the service was great.

The most amazing fresh fish and salad and fries. So delicious. I would give 5 stars but the service is unfriendly and quite aggressive

Every year we are here we can’t miss this very typical fish restaurant with a great view of the Port. We love all fish here, the sardinas, the Pimientos de Padron. Even the deserts are really good - Flan & Basque Cheese Cake. Also a great starting point for the village Fiestas.

5/5 stars for the grilled sea bass, simple and fresh salad, fries and house white wine. It was bliss, so delicious and being able to sit on the waterfront and enjoy the view. Really fresh fish. We came back again for the second time for another meal as we enjoyed it so much - scallops were good. However, the clams weren’t worth the 25 euro it had cost.
