2023 Update
We visited the restaurant two more times during a short weekend break in Nessebar and, although the location moved about 60 meters, the mussels were just as good.
Still a place we can recommend and one I would gladly return to just for the mussels!
2025 update
We found ourselves again in Nessebar for a few days and ate here again. Nothing has changed and this is the best thing possible. The mussels are just as good, the fish soup the same and I honestly hope that when we return to enjoy this place once again.
