We have been coming back to this restaurant for years. Located in a great location if you want to step aside from the crowds and have a relaxed meal. Friendly and professional waiters, excellent quality of the food, simply recommend. Waiting time is as expected, and although there are cheaper restaurants in the area, it is absolutely worth it.

A nice restaurant in the corner of the Rab marketplace. The service was very nice. We had tuna steak, monkfish and pasta with shrimp and truffles, while the kids had some fingerfood. The food was OKAY, but not great. A bit too expensive, too - paid almost 200€ for lunch for 5 adults and 5 kids.

Excellent restaurant with prompt and helpful staff. Great local fish and one of best pizzas in Rab! Best of all, unlike many restaurants on Rab, works year round!
