Step inside

Portholes, a ship’s wheel and wood carvings

The tavern is fitted out like an old fishing boat: timber, brass, a ship’s wheel by the entrance and carved scenes from fishermen’s life.

The main dining room: wooden ceiling, portholes, plates on the walls and a long table
  • A wooden door with two round portholes
  • A ship’s wheel and a clock on a wooden wall
  • A carved relief of musicians in a wooden frame
  • A fireplace in the dining room, a lace tablecloth on the table
