The mussels with Roquefort cheese. A solid 800g portion, good quality. The cheese sauce was rich and creamy, not too salty. Felt like a fair deal for what you get here by the sea.

A cozy winter spot for a light bite. I appreciate that their small plates feature fresh, seasonal ingredients. The roasted root vegetables were particularly good, simple and wholesome. Just the right kind of snack.

The espresso was strong, just what I needed after a morning walk. They had a nice selection of local roasts. Sat outside with my cup, watching the waves. A bit pricey for the size, but the view makes up for it.

The portions here are huge! My friends and I split a salad and it was more than enough for the three of us. The cr&ecirc;pe for dessert was the perfect sweet finish. A solid spot for a casual catch-up.

The steak pie was the standout. Flaky pastry, rich gravy, and the beef was incredibly tender. That&#39;s the kind of pie you remember. The drink list is huge, but I wish there were a few more main dish options.

I really appreciate the variety of fresh ingredients they offer for their pizzas. The tomato sauce tasted like it was made from scratch, and the vegetables were crisp. A nice spot for a healthy meal.

Been coming here for years. The outdoor tables are still the best spot, especially on a quiet afternoon. The maitre d&#39; always has a smile and keeps things moving. It&#39;s just a nice, easy place to eat.

The mussel &eacute;clade was the star. That smoky flavor from the pine needles is something else. Just a really unique dish, cooked just right.

Been coming here for years, and the service is always the same &ndash; genuinely nice, never rushed. They remember my usual table in the quieter corner. It just feels comfortable.

Stumbled upon this spot by accident. The flank steak special with fries was &euro;13, a solid deal. The burger was homemade, really hit the spot. A nice little find!

Booked for a big group and they handled our post-meal wedding plans perfectly. So smooth! We liked it enough to come back the next night.

Moved to a shadier table, no problem. Staff was quick to help. Got my sandwich and iced tea fast. Perfect for a quick lunch break.

The home-style cooking here really hits the spot. I had the catfish with collard greens, and it was just like my grandma used to make. The vibe is super friendly, and the portions are generous for the price. A solid, comforting meal.

Stopped by for a drink on the terrace. The view of the beach and sea is the main thing here, really nice. The drink itself was just okay, but you&#39;re paying for that scenery.

Great cocktails, cool vibe. Desserts are a real treat. Tables are a bit tight, but it&#39;s a nice spot for a relaxed evening.

The cocktails were so creative! I loved the one with the lavender foam. Desserts looked almost too pretty to eat, but I managed. 😉

Perfect spot by the harbor. Came for lunch, ended up staying for dinner too. The cocktails were the main draw.

The view of the ocean and lighthouse is just stunning, even in the rain. Perfect spot to catch up with friends over a long lunch. The staff were really nice and quick, which was great because we were chatting so much.

A lovely spot by the water for a late lunch. I really appreciated the fresh, simple ingredients in my grilled fish salad. The greens were crisp, and the fish tasted very clean. The view was a nice bonus, but the focus on quality produce is what stood out to me.

Had a big group dinner here, 10 of us. The staff handled it so smoothly, no stress at all. And that creamy mayo they serve with the fries? Honestly, I could eat it with a spoon. 😋

The mussels were really tasty. I liked finding the little crayfish mixed in, the waiter said that means they&#39;re fresh. Good portion too.

The amuse-bouche was a clever little bite. But the salmon was the thing. Skin was crisp, flesh just opaque and flaky. They suggested a white burgundy with it, which worked.

Been coming here for ages and they never disappoint. The truffle pasta is still as good as I remember it from my first visit. Just the right amount of cream, not too heavy.

The owner was super friendly. Tried the calf&#39;s head, it was actually pretty good!

The view over the oyster beds is the real draw here. Had a dozen with a crisp local white&mdash;the pairing was spot on. Makes the meal. Prices are fair for what you get.

Been coming here for years. The market menu&#39;s presentation is always spot on, and the daily catch never disappoints.

Came for the veggie options, left impressed. The menu had some genuinely original takes. Tried the lentil-walnut p&acirc;t&eacute;, really flavorful. Portions were decent for the price.

The roast sea bass was so good! Shared it with my friend, and the portion was perfect for two. The mashed potatoes were creamy and the mussels were tasty. Really nice spot for a casual dinner with friends.
