Visiting tips & what to bring

It is in a narrow back lane in a residential area, with few large signs or landmarks outside, so it is reassuring to check the address on Google Maps before heading over. As there is no dedicated car park, park at Sarahama Fishing Port about a 3-minute walk away and walk over. The lanes are narrow with some one-way-like sections, so avoiding entering by car is safer. Sarahama is an old-fashioned village with many cats, slopes and stone paving, so easy-to-walk footwear is recommended. Being popular, booking by phone in advance for both lunch and dinner is reliable.

For families with small children

Centred on table seats with wide spacing and a calm atmosphere, it is a relatively easy shop to use even with small children aged 0 to 6. There are easy-to-eat menu items for children such as pasta and curry plates. However, it is in a back-lane residential area with no dedicated car park, and you need to walk a narrow lane from the fishing port, so carrying is reassuring rather than a pushchair. Confirming by phone in advance whether there are kids chairs or baby-food accommodation is good.
