What to order. Moules-frites are its signature dish, but the menu is long: pasta with lobster, oysters, lasagne, pizzas, fish and hot-stone steak. It also serves breakfast and has a children's menu. Expect €20-30 per person.

Good to know. People like the presentation, the sea views and, on many visits, the friendly staff. Criticism mentions slow, disorganised service on some days, heat indoors and uneven dishes or extra charges. Ask for a terrace table if you can.
