    One could write reams about just how wonderful this place it - but the only way to vlaidate my opinion is YOUR personal experience! Firstly secure a booking - and that not always so easy - savvy people know what's good and where to find it. The maybe dip you feet in the water with a starter or two ... like the most delicious crispy whitebait or the cajun baby squid ...take a selfie recording that huge smile - then carry on.

    This is more than a restaurant, it’s a feeling. A total vibe! If you’re looking for exceptional seafood, a breathtaking sea view, and genuinely warm service with big smiles and the most wonderful energy, this is the place. I had the Tuna line fish of the day and my partner had the Melkbos Platter. Absolutely delicious! BOOK NOW, you won’t regret it! ♡
