A very nice place, delicious food, and welcoming staff. I live far from here, but I go every day. I already feel like I'm at home. There are sun loungers for relaxing and sunbathing, and after a delicious breakfast, you can go for a swim. I always see turtles on this beach. I recommend this place for both relaxation and food.

The omelette and the Turkish Eggs were really good. But the shaksuka is disappointing. Not even a shaksuka, scrambled or poached eggs were put in a chickpeas soup. Mix fruit juices are quite delicious

We had the avocado smash and the fluffy pancakes with berry compote and both were really good! The pancakes tasted very helathy, not too sweet and the avocado smash was nice and creamy. I loved the roasted tomatoes with the toast.

Food is very well presented and a good atmosphere. The fluffy pancakes are very fluffy and looks stunning. It would've been 10/10 if it was a bit sweeter to my taste - all food tastes healthy and good selection.

Very delicious and unique food. I wouldn't have thought that these "original" dishes would harmonize so well. 😌
