Positive experience: Ideal, one of the few in the area where you can eat after 15.30 if you arrive late for whatever reason.very cool views right in front of the sea, in a place with a terrace with atmosphere.menu with tapas and dishes combined quite correct (not very extensive, but everything there is just enough and necessary).the dishes combined strong, so it is a place where you comply and eat well at a good price.the cheesecake was pretty good to finish off the meal.

Fantastic experience: Restaurant on the seafront with a terrace, although with so much heat it is better to be inside. We made a reservation. The waiters are very attentive and quick to serve, the staff in general very nice. I recommend the tapas ... all very good. Fresh fish ... octopus just right and the anchovies without words. Spectacular! We repeat for sure!

Guillem Mundí 04/04/2022

Fantastic experience: Small restaurant where you can taste some incredible sandwiches with very large flute bread, well priced for being located on the beach of the town. In addition, they also have very rich tapas. Great service. The only thing is that in summer they take a long time both to attend you and to serve you, although understandable by the influx of people. Deserving give them five stars.
