This restaurant is absolutely amazing like the seafood is amazing . Last time I went tho , total chaos. It was on Eid & it was total chaos. I understand that it was way too crowded & the food was very rushed & it took us an hour to recover our order. When we usually go there , the salad usually comes first & our food comes fast but that time I didn't enjoy it. Really hope next time I come it's better.
We had a reservation sat & waited for more the 2 hours for our food! Everyone got served, ate & left while we waited all along. Not professional, waiters were still nice.

First Timer.
Plenty of parking.
Went there without reservation & we got a table instantly.
Staffs were welcoming & friendly.
Nice atmosphere & clean!
As for food, once you get your table, you have to go to the counter at the back & choose your seafoods & pricing for majority is based on weight. You choose cooking style too so I picked fried calamari, grilles octopus & espadon, M salad & P rice. It was well enough for 2 person.
Taste wise they were all supeeer good & it reminded me of the island life ♥?🌴 I would highly recommend! Total came to 75$ approx (excl tip) see pictures for reference, & well worth it.
Un des meilleurs resturants que je suis aller pour les fruits de mer,la nourriture est tres frais,personelle super gentils & à l'ecoute,belle endroit & bonne ambiance,je retournerai.je conseille leur frites,calmars & crevette avec sauce creme.
The food was good, but the garlic sauce wasn't perfect
The price for the food is above average
However, compared to other seafood restaurants in the same field, this restaurant is more expensive About the usual The service was good but not fast This food was for two people
The food is of high quality & fresh.

C'est très bon. Un peu cher. Je comprend pas les gens dans les avis qui disent quantité généreuse, lol oui si tes poches sont généreuses. Tu paye en fonction du poids mais sur l'ensemble très bon resto familial
Not bad at all: enjoyed most of it. The salad wasn't as fresh as I'd hoped, but everything else was solid. With a bit more attention to freshness, this place would be perfect

'Produits frais, assiettes généreuses & personnel aux petits soins. Pour ce qui est du goût, un vrai régal, j'aurais jamais cru retrouver les saveurs de la Méditerranée par ici. Le plat du poulpe grillé était très délicieux !
What a hidden gem in Laval!
My husband & I were driving home starving & happened to notice this place while craving seafood. We decided to stop by & were so pleasantly surprised. We had absolutely delicious Egyptian fish & octopus, & the potatoes were great as well. The portions are generous, the prices are very reasonable, & it's a wonderful family-friendly spot. We will definitely be coming back!
Ce restaurant propose du poisson & des fruits de mer frais fris ou grillés accompagnés de pomme de terre frites & salade fraîche. Le prix est abordable, la facture était de 220 dollars pour 6 personnes. Nous avions commandé des filets de bassa, des crevettes sautées à l'ail, des calamars & des sardines.
