LE meilleur spot de Sion pour bien manger, et admirer la mer. Les produits sont savoureux et les portions généreuses. Gros coup de cœur pour la salade burrata, un vrai délice. Ambiance conviviale, le personnel est adorable. Et la cerise sur le gâteau : une vue imprenable sur le coucher de soleil, il nous tarde déjà de revenir !

Dans un cadre face à la mer, ambiance détente, avec un personnel accueillant. Une carte de boisson variée et une carte pour manger avec des bons produits. Un bon bar de plage comme on les aimes Je recommande

Such a cool cafe right on the beach with great vibes, food and drink menu. Lovely couple who are super friendly and welcoming. We stopped off on a bike ride from Les Mouettes. Great find.

What a great spot! The food and service were great. The place is run by a sweet, young French couple who even came to our table to make sure we were enjoying the food. We loved it so much we came back lunch the day after!
