Restaurant€€2.9 km

This elegant restaurant by the harbour of a small fishing village has been run by the Schiavone family for over 10 years. Son James treats diners to a daily changing selection of simply cooked whole fish and other, more modern, imaginative seafood dishes. In addition to fishermen, they support the local baker and a hydroponic farmer who is just a few kilometres from the restaurant. Their 150+ wine bin is renowned locally.
