Mediterranean Fish Restaurant

Our main dining room looks straight over the pitch. The kitchen is built around the day's catch — grilled sea bass, octopus, prawns and seasonal Mediterranean plates, finished with Albanian olive oil and herbs.

IThe Story

Every table in the restaurant faces the same direction: the pitch. Floor-to-ceiling glass runs the length of the room, so whether it's a quiet Tuesday lunch or a full house on match night, the view never changes and never gets old.

The kitchen works from the day's catch — whole fish grilled over open heat, crudo cut to order, langoustine and lobster finished tableside.

IIBefore the Kitchen

Fresh from the sea

Tuna, langoustine, crab and clams — sourced fresh and worked simply, so the ingredient stays the point.

The seafood display, before service

Before the Kitchen

From the sea to the table

Nothing on the fish table starts in a freezer. Whole tuna, spiny lobster and the day's catch arrive on ice and are cleaned, portioned and worked by hand, right up against the seafood display.

It's the same ingredient you'll see grilled whole or cut to order a few tables away — the sourcing isn't hidden, it's part of the room.

In Their Words

What guests say about the table

“

You can dine and still feel like you're pitch-side — even with no match on. The view alone is worth the visit.
