Jun 08, 2026"Nice place to eat. Staff were friendly and efficient. Garlic bread with cheese was the starter. With a sirloin steak for main. I asked for medium rare but received medium which was a shame as the meat was very good indeed. My wife asked for medium and it was exactly the same as mine. So it wasn’t just me getting it wrong. Anyway as I say the food was good. Just cooked wrong. Service was good. And the price was also inline with other places. Which was more than reasonable. Parking is easy with it right by the main port car park. Location is very nice with it being right on the main square by the sea. Very nice area in the old town with plenty of choice for drinks afterwards. And locals playing bowls game which was something different."

I ordered the sirloin steak which was cooked to my liking and they have a good selection of wines. Worth a visit if you want something tasty and convenient and not too expensive. The French waiter will do his best to look after you. Was a bit quite when I was there."
