Los Faroles
Situated opposite the Marina serving wonderful fresh fish. When ordering ask Juan, the owner, for the fresh fish of the day.

Many of the dishes are home made. The restaurant is popular with the locals.
 
The Stay
The most romantic setting of all the restaurants. Prior reservation is a must. Ask for a table outside on the jetty. Professional and attentive service and a varied menu.
 
The Ivy Garden
Fashionable, wonderful menu of European/Mediterranean mixes. Prior reservation a must.
 
The Coral

The Corb Mari
If you are a steak person, the best steak in the Port. Slowly cooked over a wood burning B-B-Q.
