Lovely outdoor terrace overlooking sea with good food and excellent service. We'd come here again and would recommend to friends.

It's perhaps because I had raised expectations, perhaps because parking was so difficult, perhaps because none of the hosts welcomed us with a smile, perhaps its because we paid a lot more than expected - dining here was not the best of my experiences in Gozo. I'm told the restaurant enjoys great views but we were there at night and... More

Excellent seafood restuarant overlooking the beautiful Marsalforn Bay. The service does need some polishing, however this is certainly counterbalanced by the mouthwatering food. I would certainly recommend the pasta for starters and mixed seafood platter as a main course. It's Mediterranean food at it's best.

A very warm enviornment with beautiful view over Marsalforn bay. Bruschetta, served gratis, was highly appreciated in its original kind of presentation. Fresh fish was very good in generous portions.

Chris and his team were amazing. The price was right, the food was excellent and the staff were so accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble even though they had two fussy eaters. Thanks for the cigarette Chris!

The food was excellent I must say one of the best meals I ever had in gozo, but the chairs were not comfortable to sit on their top was all thorn and the waiter who served us ( i guess he was the head waiter) was like in a bad mood and was not very pleasant to deal with. Prices... More

We have been regular visitors to this family run restaurant in the last few years. The food never disappoints. At our last visit we had fish baked in a salt cake - highly recommended if available. Chris and his team always make sure the eating experience is second to none. If you fancy eating fresh fish perched over the beautiful... More

Great location, fantastic views across the bay of Marsalforn. Food was lovely (the mussels for starters were great), a bit expensive but a great treat for our last night of our holiday. Booking is essential
