“ Great spot for a coffee, lots of action with boats going in and out. Great view of the bay and harbour. The staff are nice, very efficient. The coffee us really great. It fills up quickly. Get there for 9.30 and get your morning off to a good start ”
“ Fantastic food and great service and a view to knock your socks off. After our first meal here we came back two more times -- ignoring the other restaurants open. We had the fresh grilled fish (turbot and sea bass) and a side order of roasted veggies for the two larger meals. Both fish were exceptional, as were the roasted veggies. The servers are very nice, too. This restaurant appears to be popular with locals, as we saw many people who live here greeting friends. Great coffee, too! A definite must if you are in Calella. ”
