What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Med Cafe is celebrated for its breathtaking seaside location, romantic ambiance, and high-quality, well-presented Mediterranean cuisine. Diners rave about the exceptional service, particularly from attentive staff like George and Klejdi, and unique cocktails like the signature Pina Colada. While the views and overall experience are consistently praised, some reviews mention service being a bit too quick at times, and one diner found the menu small and a steak to be overcooked.
"Absolutely fantastic place to eat! The food was delicious and beautifully presented, with a stunning view right by the beach. Perfect mix of sun and shade for a relaxing meal. The drinks were amazing: fresh, creative, and spot on. Our waiters, Klejdi & Georges, were excellent: friendly, attentive, and super efficient. Service overall was quick and smooth. Highly recommended. I’ll definitely be coming back!

"A really beautiful must try restaurant!!
The restaurant has the most beautiful view and is so ambient and romantic. There is a good selection of dishes on the menu- we had mushroom linguine and sea bream which were both 10/10. The staff are great and we had a really good time. I will add that you definitely need to book if you want a good seat! Would recommend!"
