About
Family-run fish, seafood and rice restaurant at the marina, opened in 1999 according to its website. Terrace with views of the port. It once held a Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand (a 2019 fact; not listed in 2026).
Good to know
Book at weekends and ask for a terrace table with views of the port. The carabineros (giant red prawns) are their star dish, but ask the price per piece first. The rest is average for a harbour seafood restaurant. Visa and Mastercard accepted.
