The mussels

The house speciality.

Mussels are the dish that represents us: put in the middle, shared, bread wiped through the sauce. Then you look at the sea.

The dish

A dish for the middle of the table.

Mussels are not a personal starter: they go in the middle of the table to be shared, with bread within reach for the sauce. It is how you eat by the sea, when the evening is long.

The mussels are cooked in-house, in the same kitchen that prepares raw fish, first courses and fried fish. If you have never ordered them here, start here: it is the dish that comes back to the tables most often.

The evening

Mussels at sunset, then the club.

Mussels are a dish for a long evening: start with raw fish, arrive at the mussels, finish with fried fish and desserts. When the table is done, the club is in the same venue.

On the terrace the dish has one advantage: the sauce, the bread and the sea in front. If you want a table outside, say so when you book.
