Restaurant is about 120m from the parking lot outside of the campground, but the short walk in is worth it. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The food was great and reasonably priced, and much of the seating has incredible views of the ocean. The sunsets here are amazing.

I love this Place! The Food was awsome. We was 3 times here and it was always Perfect! The meat was juicy and great grilled. Pizza was also fantastic. Vegetarian dishes was also Great. The price was low for this good quality and the big size. The Service was nice and funny! The Ambiente and the music is also Great. I am sad we haven‘t such a great Restaurant in Graz (Austria). I am happy to come here next year again and enjoy the jummy food and the Great Service!

very pleasant environment, very nice staff and delicious food. Family business with a great location on the beach and a choice of food. We used to come here every day and for lunch, and when we visit Novigrad we will not miss this beach bar. Teranino ("tarantino") was great.
