Practical tips before visiting a restaurant

Popular restaurants can become busy in the evenings during the peak summer season, so it is worth booking a table in advance, especially if you would like to sit outside or as close to the sea as possible.

When ordering fish from the daily selection, ask about the price and how it is calculated before placing your order. Some restaurants list the price per kilogram. Opening hours may change throughout the year, so we recommend checking the latest information on Instagram, the restaurant's website or Google Maps before your visit.
