We came here to have monkfish hotpot.
They open early in the morning, even so, there was a waiting line of two groups.

The other manufactured seafood inside the shop is good to the friend for souvenir .
★★★

The food was good, but slightly expensive compared to the other restaurants nearby. They don't allow food from outside in the restaurant and this include baby food. I had to feed my daughter outside in the heat.
