Gault&Millau's review 2026

The Pikol family restaurant combines the rich coastal tradition with modern elegance, creating an unforgettable experience for all those looking for authentic taste, and is a true haven for lovers of exquisite, authentic cuisine in the tranquility of nature. It is famous for its extensive range of fresh fish, which is prepared in such a way as to preserve its natural firmness and aroma. The real star of the menu is the fish carpaccio – thinly sliced raw sea bass fillet, topped with fresh citrus, refreshing pomegranate, chestnut honey, quality olive oil, placed on a bed of lettuce and arugula. A classic that simply should not be missing from the table. Homemade pasta is unforgettable, usually with a seafood accompaniment. Although Pikol is famous for its fish specialties, it also caters to lovers of meat flavors. Each dish is complemented by local seasonal vegetables, ensuring a natural balance of flavors without unnecessary additives. A special place is given to their top quality wine, which the family produces in their own vineyards and is closely related to the story of the house. For a complete experience, choose one of the modern, yet idyllic rustic houses by the lake, ideal for a romantic getaway or a family vacation.
