Went to the Flame Tree on the last night of our holiday as it had been highly recommended and had new local owners who were trying hard to make a good impression. The initial good impression with white linen table cloths and napkins and reasonably sophisticated decor, gave us the thought we were going to be in for a treat.... More

We really enjoyed this restaurant. We shared a seafood platter which was mainly fresh or grilled, none of the deep fried seafood you come to expect. Service was great, very friendly and welcoming.
