Unexplicably closed on a sunday noon on a very sunny say in the middle of August. If that’s not a moment to open a beach club that has direct acces to a (tiny) beach and serves food, I don’t know when it is… there were no signs whatsoever, and lots of people were arriving there and bouncing back. The fact that it doesn’t have a good connection to the rest of the city center makes the miss all the more annoying. It looked like it had potential, a real pitty…
Stay away. After 5 weeks in Visby and basically eating out and trying new restaurants in Visby and Gotland. This beach club/restaurant is by far the worst one.
Why you wonder?
Here is the gist of mine and my wife's experience.
Booked a table 2 weeks prior, asked for a table closest to the sea, with a good view of the sunset.
When arrived, got a table 4 rows from the sea. Asked why, and got told that the other tables was only for 4 or more people. OK.
Well, after a short while, we noticed that at least 2 other couples got tables closest to the sea!
When I asked about it, no-one knew why(started to suspect that my last name didn't ring a good bell, it's slavic)
Well, the dinner continued, the drinks were OK, even if expensive for the amount.
Next thing was the music. There were 2 DJs playing house music, and not the good house music(imho) but house with repeating sound where every song was 10mins or more. No-one really seemed to enjoy it, expect the DJs who suddenly started lapping loudly and unexpected.
Now the food. I ordered tagliatelle and my wife the schnitzel. Food came in timely as expected. The schnitzel tasted as you can expect, however for almost 300kr you would expect a little more sallad, or a corncob or something.
My tagliatelle was another story. The pasta was not fully cooked, and the whole dish was swimming in pasta water. The taste of tagliatelle was like a 14-15year teenager tried cooking his first frozen pasta ever. Tagliatelle was about 230 kr.Totally horrible.
Of course told the waiter that something was wrong, and that I rather take the schnitzel. Now my wife had to eat alone for about 15-20 minutes, should have been handled differently.
After dinner we thought we would take a cappuccino/latte and enjoy the last minutes of sunset(was not about to purchase a dessert in this place)
To our surprise there were no espresso/cappuccino/latte at all. Only ordinary machinecoffe! For a place where the meals are well over 200-300 kronor and desserts over 100-150 kr to only have machinecoffe, what?!.
My wife still ordered one, and asked for lactosefree milk. At first they had it, but after about 10 minutes another waiter came out with the coffe and milk, but it was ordinary milk. Suddenly they did not have laktosfri. After a short discussion they had oatmilk, which is NOT the same thing.
Well, wife finally got her coffe with some oatmilk, but, the coffe was so weak it tasted like water with sugar milk now..
Needless to say, even our waiter was embarrassed with how our night went, even though she tried doing her best.
Main problem with this brach club is that it's trying to please everyone, from young people with the drinks and house music, and middle aged and older people with the view, wine and appearance. But instead it fails at everything, it could be so much better..
I would say to avoid this place, but since there are no other restaurants in the area, this could be hard.
I for one will never return to this mess of a place.
Cozy, good view, shallow waters, safe for children. French vibes, the food is tasty, olive oil tastes of olives and so do the olives. Friendly waitstaff and adequate music. Very busy at night, very relaxed and chill during the day.
We went when the Pontus Frithiof kitchen was taking over… Total waste of money and time. They were missing five mains off the menus and the mains that were there were piss-poor in quality. Definitely skip this one, friends! Nice view though!
Överpris och väldigt lite mat på varmrätterna.
Desto mer mat på barnmenyn (se bild). Tyvärr oätbart, över kokt pasta och köttfärs som ej var kryddad.
Jävligt trevligt läge, gå hit och drick öl men ta maten på nästa ställe.
Tryffelpotatisgratängen och oxfilén var goda! Resten var väl helt ok, men ganska små portioner. Personalen nämnde att laxen behövde ”tinas” - man vill gärna ha färska råvaror när man betalar så mycket.
Trist att dom bytt ut menyn till bara våfflor, och väldigt få av dom också. Hade kanske oturen också att få en rätt nonchalant och seg servitör också.
