Customer Reviews
Nice place, I recommend coming here an hour or two before sunset, you'll get an incredible view as a side dish;) We ordered fish (Poisson braise) and fried bananas with sauces. It was really good. Take a taxi and come, it is worth it.
Sea water is not clean, place is a bit dead but the food is awesome
May be tricky to find if it's your first time, watch out for people in the car park waving you on yo one of the other fish restaurants that are along this stretch of road, in the port... So to business, of you are looking for fish you have come to the right place. Pick what you like from the selection, barracuda always seems popular, take your seat inside or outside and wait for it to arrive. Not being a massive lover of the fish they have I take the monster gambas, they come in 3's and that's plenty with the rice / fries / fried plantain. Of course, you will sit outside overlooking the sea, make sure the tide is in or you will just be staring at mudflats covered in rubbish... overall it's very good for what it is. Don't forget where you are.
Overlooking a shallow bay with big boats at a distance this places serves grilled fish and seafood. You pick a fresh fish in the kitchen, agree on a price and some time later it comes to your table grilled. The fish was fresh and well prepared. I can recommend you also look at the artwork on the walls.
