"Lovely restaurant. Beautiful surroundings. Friendly staff and delicious food. The Google maps location is about 1.7 km off. But if you search for Ecolux Boutique Hotel you should get there just fine."

"A gem indeed! Last picture taken 3/4 of the way through the meal. It looked so good when it arrived, we tucked in. It looked better before we started obviously. Only place on this town where the food is not "bar food". We recommend the prawn (250g) and the schnitzel. Haven't tried other things though. Don't let the fact that it's empty here scare you. Also good service from the waiter. We also loved that it was calm and only very gentle music in the background and the koi pond felt like a nice touch."
