Just magical... food was lovely, even for non fish eaters.. and the view couldn't be better.. basically sitting on the beach in a beautiful little cove... Was not my first visit and most certainly won't be my last.

A lovely lunch spot with a breathtaking view of the sea, beaches and stone tower. Especially delicious rice dishes. Excellent paella vege, well-chosen vegetable compositions, with asparagus and a bit of broad beans. A portion for 2 people can easily be enough even for four! Crunchy octopus with delicious hollandaise sauce - nice too. Acceptable prices, for 5 people 86 € with drinks. subtracts one star for spageti (poor) and 4 cheese pizza (too much blue cheese like Gorgonzola or roquefort made the pizza bitter). Delicious paella… and this place !!! Very professional and friendly service.

Great food, wonderful staff and a fantastic atmosphere. Even though the restaurant is full every day the staff is quick, nice and happy. We’ve never had to wait for a table or our food. After a couple of days they even knows our names!

This place does have it all. Great food and service to go with the amazing view. It is in a semi-protected cove so it is a comfortable spot even if there's a little wind. I ran across this on accident while I was out for a walk on the beach. I only had a couple of beers this time, but the tapas were exceptional. I've had seafood paella as a tapa at a couple of other places and it's always cooked wrong. This was perfect with the rice dry and flavorful and a couple of pieces of seafood that were delicious. The other tapa was delicious chunks of tender beef in a nice sauce. I can't wait to return to have a full order of the paella. Thank you so much!!

By far, the best restaurant of our holiday. The staff were very friendly and the manager was brilliant, especially with my children who didn't want to leave. Food was stunning, large menu so something for everyone. Would highly recommend, beautiful setting on the beach.
