Reviews
Manou’s is a great all round representation of European cuisine, with dishes like Pane de casa topped with melted cheese with a garlic and chilli butter on the side, in other words garlic bread! I’ve got to say though, my favourite has got to be the Mediterranean vegetable tartlet topped with halloumi, it sounds and tastes like heaven! Or if you’re brave enough you could always try the squid tube! Don’t ask what’s in it, just try it!
Manou’s is rustic, unique, and has a fun and inviting atmosphere. I would rate it as being a great family restaurant or an ideal place to host small intimate events. It overlooks the beautiful breakwater and is the perfect place to relax and take in the sights and sounds of the beachfront. It sits right next door to Chaddy’s Charters which would be a great little adventure to go on before you sit down to your long lunch (if there’s anybody that gets sea sick, definitely make it a trip before your lunch!).
