Gault&Millau's review 2026

Hidden among the old city streets is a cozy, traditional tavern, a true gem for lovers of seafood. This warm and welcoming restaurant charms guests with its history, authentic atmosphere, and maritime flavours that linger long after the meal is over. Its heart and soul is the charismatic owner, Tatjana, who takes care of every detail on the table with dedication and genuine affection. Only the freshest fish are served here, carefully prepared either on the grill or in the oven, always according to the day’s catch. For that reason, the menu changes regularly, and every visit offers something different. Highlights include fish carpaccio, tender octopus salad, creamy cod spread, and shellfish with a clean, unmistakably maritime flavour. Everything is served with a smile and accompanied by stories that give the meal a personal touch. A glass of carefully selected wine naturally complements the food and rounds out the experience. The homemade desserts are also worth noting, especially the warm apple strudel, which is always a pleasure to finish with. The tavern stands out through the exceptional quality of its ingredients and straightforward preparation. It also wins guests over with its intimate atmosphere, friendly service, homely setting, and romantic garden. Here, tradition, hospitality, and a passion for honest seafood come together without unnecessary fuss - one of the reasons guests are so happy to return.
