The pace here naturally slows, coaxed by the warm wooden tones of the interior and the relaxed hum of diners sharing moments beneath soft lighting.

This isn’t a place obsessed with formalities or flair, but rather one that feels quietly confident in the honest pleasure of simple, well-crafted dishes served with a genuine smile. The menu invites you to explore a delightful mix of flavors that balance the local catch’s freshness with a touch of comforting richness — imagine seabass as delicate as the sea breeze, or tender duck breast that holds just the right amount of warmth to make you linger.
