“ We came for lunch on a Wednesday and it was peaceful quiet with only 2 other tables. As it was still summer weather, we and the other 2 tables sat outdoors in the garden. The waiter was excellent and very attentive and friendly. We had delicious fish soup, fried red mullet with potatoes and Swiss chard, and grilled fillet of sea bass with Swiss chard and potatoes. And a mixed seasonal salad as a side. A delicious and relaxing lunch ”
