One of the best Italian restaurants in town. Great for a romantic dinner, not really recommended for smaller kids. Reservations are highly recommended one or two weeks in advance as this place typically books out quickly.

Sightseeing
A must see during your visit. Many colorful and unique house boats floating on the water. Multiple different eating options, e.g. Fish & Chips, Mexican, Pizza, Burgers, Ice Cream etc., ideal for lunch or an afternoon snack and stawl. Whale watching tours also start from there and you can rent kayaks to paddle the inner harbour. Walking distance from inner harbour or accessible via water taxi, which is also a fun experience.
