"We came for a quick light lunch. The mussels were great albeit small in size and quantity. Fresh and deliciously delightful with just some fresh lemon juice. The alioli one was of course heavier. We went early-ish (1300h) on a weekday so it was empty. We sat outside and were served quickly. One thing to note is they don’t do coffee but there’s plenty of cafes around if you’d like one."

"I like this place very much. When I forget to reserve a restaurant for a dinner on Saturday, I always can come here and there will be a table for me and my husband, you just need to come when they open in the evening. Later (at 20:30-21:00) there will not be a free place because people like it and on Saturday it’s full. This is a good sign for a good, small restaurant with delicious food. Thank you."
