The food, the service the atmosphere, the friendliness of the staff everything was fantastic! Not the mention the astonishing view literally wow! Beats every other place I’ve been so far. So if you’re think of going for gambas, with an Aperol, beer or something, this place definitely is a must. You will love it. Then you can enjoy the beach afterwards. Also little birds come to say hi (and steal your food) sort of like a fairytale.

If you want to live your best Santanyi life, you’ll come to this restaurant. Amazing service, friendly staff, excellent hamburger that we basically got every day, and perfect beachside views. If you go, make sure tell Jasper he’s whiny and leaky!

A great little restaurant overlooking a beautiful beach. Reservations should be made in advance as there are very few restaurants in this location. Prompt service and friendly staff. Hamburger had the potential to be good, but it lacked flavor and condiments. Beef pasta with mushrooms was very good. Seasonal vegetables were predominantly peppers, and onions were tasty but too salty. Overall, it was a good experience and worth visiting. I would recommend.

This place feels like paradise! Stunning view on the ocean, setting under tries escaping the sun a little and getting served chilled drinks - is there any better! We loved it and ordered some finger food as well which was delicious, too. The stuff was super friendly. All in all we loved it and we will definitiv come back for a second visit! ⭐

A great spot with a beautiful outdoor area and amazing sea view. The food was delicious — we had grilled sea bream and a salad with warm goat cheese, both very tasty. The starter with bread, aioli, and olives was a bit disappointing — the olives were great, but the bread was just a baguette briefly toasted. Otherwise, definitely worth a visit! If you want one of the lovely outdoor tables, I’d recommend making a reservation on a nice day.

We had a wonderful meal – delicious shrimp pasta, a juicy burger, and crispy fries. The sangria was excellent, and the service was outstanding, always with a friendly smile. On top of that, the atmosphere and the stunning sea view made the experience truly special.
