ALKA Mediterranean Restaurant

What a wonderful restaurant. In the middle of all the tourist shops, you go up to the rooftop and suddenly it’s just a few tables in the middle of the sea. The food is fresh, tasty, and looks great. For the fish of the day the chef brings you the morning’s catch so you can pick. And to top it all off the desserts are fabulous.

We went over to see the Blue Grotto Cave by boat which is 60 seconds down the hill and wanted lunch whilst we were there. We went straight up to the roof top terrace and were served by very welcoming staff. We had the catch of the day which was freshly caught by the fisherman. We were shown the fish before it was cooked which is a first for us. We went for the barracuda which came with some great sides of fried and seasoned potatoes with some vegetables. This may seem a bit of a bold statement but it was the best fish we've ever eaten and to top it off they showed us the cooked fish whole and asked if we'd prefer it as it was whole as it was cooked or if we wanted it filleted. The terrace was shaded and had fans so was more than pleasant enough in the heat (34°C). Strongly recommended that you pay this restaurant a visit and try some of heir amazing fish and impeccable service.

Amazing, creative, fresh food. The menu is original and the mussels and honey-thyme marinated grilled calamari were absolutely divine. Not to mention the spectacular views from their terrace. Truly a magical dining experience.
