OrderA glass of the house brew with the fish of the day.
TipThe terrace faces the marina and the cruise berth, so it fills fast on cruise days.

OrderThe barley risotto with red pesto or the beetroot hummus, both listed vegan on the carte.
TipClosed Monday and Tuesday, and the a la carte runs in the evening only. Ask for a table on the Lido promenade rather than inside.
