A red door just a few metres from the sea marks the entrance to this long-established restaurant (a family-run business for over a century), which boasts two small dining rooms with brick-vaulted ceilings and a lively atmosphere. Unsurprisingly, the menu focuses on fish and seafood specialities, which showcase a combination of delicious modern and traditional flavours.
