This upscale spot is beautifully situated on the west end of the bay, providing a fabulous view of the town and the sweeping hills and promontory to the north and east. Staff are professional, though a bit distant compared to other eateries we’ve enjoyed in Himare. We enjoyed a light lunch, starting with an outstanding Cretan Salad. The veggies and dressing were crisp and tasty, but the star of the dish was the barley rusk - essentially large-ish croutons of dry barley bread. The rusk itself is tasty, but goes to another level as it absorbs the delicious dressing. We could have devoured another bowl of this salad and called it a day! We ordered two different seafood plates. The mussels with tomato and feta sauce were outstanding and priced very fairly (only 600L). There were two different kinds of mussels in the sauce, which added a nice contrast of flavours and textures. The sauce was fabulous; we mopped all of it up with the white bread provided. The grilled octopus was, on the other hand, disappointing. The small portion (especially for 1,000L) would have been appropriate as an appetizer,, but not a main. This was made even more evident when contrasted with the generous platter of mussels we enjoyed. The octopus itself was quite dry, trending towards tough and chewy, and relatively tasteless. We would not order this dish again. If you’re so inclined they have a much more extensive wine list than other restos in town (and modern wine fridges). But be aware that their wines are quite pricey.
