Food scene
Our favourite for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the quality of the food is always good and it is the best setting to watch the sunset. Outside are pods and a terrace which are all heated so even on a cold day its a great place to sit outside.

Always good, you have to just rock up, they don't take bookings and it does get busy as its so good, but definitely worth visiting. Again overlooking the harbour and steep staircase. Their takeaway food doesn’t seem to be as good.
