The front of the restaurant is for take out customers, while the dining room is in the back. The waiter didn't give us any menu, because chargrilled chicken is all they serve! Not much choice for sides either - salads and fries, take it or leave it. No apologies. It's interesting to see big families having dinner here, hard to imagine, for an American, that they can all manage to be satisfied with the same dish, without some diet or preference in the way. As you can imagine, for a restaurant like this, they do one thing and do it really good. Tender chicken with a wonderful chargrilled flavor. My husband loves grilled chicken so this is like the 4th chicken place we visited on the trip, and this one is the clear winner. The fries and salad are just meh though.

CASH ONLY. 8.50 euros for the daily plate--includes a house wine, entree, vegetable/potatoes, dessert and coffee. Fish options vary based on availability. We enjoyed the excellent pork skewers & pork shank and the yummy desserts (house dessert was like a pecan cream pudding) and a cookie-cake similar to tiramisu. I highly recommend this for travelers that are comfortable getting off the beaten path!

It is the kind of place that sticks with you long after you leave. We stopped by just for ice cream and it did not disappoint, delicious and a perfect match for a warm day by the rocks. The staff were friendly and upbeat, which made the whole stop feel easy and enjoyable. One practical tip worth mentioning is that if you plan on taking your ice cream to go, finding a garbage can in the area is surprisingly difficult. Better to sit down and enjoy it there, which honestly is the right call anyway given the views.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The Calamares serving was very small, not worth the €17.50 price. It was overcooked so it was a bit tough.

The octopus grilled definitely had complex textures tender charred grilled tentacles ends. It was great entree. The ribeye was another amazing entree the size portion was fantastic. Seasoned prepared as specified. Tender fatty but not as much as you'd usually expect also it was a boneless steak yet still it was so special. It gets packed Easily but they let you enjoy yourself not a rush to get you out. Wine great food great time with friends and family wonderful city. The fish soup was brothy with a combination of different fish pieces. The lamb chop was tender grilled medium. I do wish it was as seasoned as the ribeye but it was well worth it. The price point for 5 entrees will have you thinking it's not possible. They have fresh fish layed out as you enter.
