“Great food, chilled vibes”
Great place that we stumbled upon, great find. Right on the beach front. Food was amazing, really fresh & delicious. We even ordered the dessert pizza... Wow!!! We will definitely be visiting there again.
Great food!! Great venue!!
We had an amazing evening on the beach. Lovely bon fire to keep you warm and amazingly good food. The dessert pizza is an absolute treat! We had a lovely waitress and really enjoyed the experience! We had the bucket, which was delicious!
Laid back with a great atmosphere
Wasn't sure of this before we arrived - the menu made it look like a basic beach bar. in a way it is - you at tables sit with your feet on sand and in the evening with a roaring wood fire with flames 2m+ high, but the food, service and wine were all excellent, and easily of good restaurant quality. They have a wood fired pizza oven which seemed popular (we had other dishes). Even in winter there was a great atmosphere and excellent service. Well worth a try.
Cosy beach bar
Enjoy their fantastic pizza in a nice atmosphere ! Feel the sand between your toes and you get relaxation in body and mind!
A great sand between the toes eating experience
A busy spot over Christmas, but we managed to get a table. They didn't have Mitchells craft beer which was a let down, and the beer on tap wasn't ice cold, but the experience of having lunch with sand between your toes is great. We had fish and chips. The chips were ordinary but the fish was very nice - the batter was particularly crispy. A nice lunch spot.
