The Restaurants Our Family Keeps Going Back To

There’s something special about the places that become part of your family’s rhythm. The ones where our kids already know what they’re ordering, where the waiters start recognising us, and where the combination of food, view and atmosphere just feels right. These four restaurants have become our regulars.

The Hussar Grill

Yes, it’s way too expensive… but still completely worth it for the steaks. The atmosphere is fantastic — especially with the fireplace going — and being right next to Beach Street makes it feel even more convenient for us. We’ve celebrated a few special occasions here and every time the quality of the steaks and the warm, classic grill-room feel remind us why we keep coming back, price tag and all.

Kingfisher Restaurant

We come here for one main reason: the sushi. It’s excellent, and the kids love it as much as we do. Sitting on the balcony with those ocean views while sharing sushi and other seafood has become one of our favourite family rituals. The portions are generous and the whole experience feels special even on a normal evening.

Del Finos

Delfino’s is our go-to for that almost-on-the-beach feeling. The outdoor seating is fantastic — you really feel like you’re right next to the water. The thin-crust pizzas and other options keep everyone happy, and the location itself makes every visit feel like a little holiday. It’s the place we choose when we just want to sit outside, eat well, and enjoy the sea air.

Piza ē Vino – Hartenbos

This is hands-down the best quality pizza we’ve found in the area, served in a properly glitzy atmosphere with beautiful sea views. We love sitting outside on a warm evening while the wood-fired pizzas arrive. The food is consistently excellent and the whole place has a polished yet relaxed feel that works perfectly for our family. It’s the one we head to when we want something a bit special without any fuss.
