Amazing view out on the ocean and the smell of the ocean while enjoying your food and coffee make it feel so relaxing. A fireplace also adds coziness and warmth to the place. I will definitely visit this lovely restaurant again to try out the seafood.
Location, location, location. With this view of the ocean everything else fades away. The word shabby comes to mind when considering the restaurant and the service. For instance the mens water closet lock was broken and overall things look a bit tired, but so what. The food is good, the staff is friendly and the view is amazing so it kinda trumps everything else.
We had an amazing time at Barnacles, delicious food, excellent service and the most amazing views. We enjoyed every moment and can definitely highly recommend this restaurant 👌
Took friends for lunch. The, not often seen Gurnard was the lunch special. Enjoyed by all. Reasonable priced and large portions.
It was worth the trip, particularly for overseas visitors. You may even see a whale and dolphin 🐬
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Barnacles, and I must say, it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and friendly smile from the waitress, whose attentiveness and helpfulness throughout the meal truly enhanced my dining experience.
As for the food, I opted for the rib, chips, and prawn special, and it exceeded all expectations. The ribs were tender, succulent, and packed with flavor, while the perfectly cooked prawns added a delightful seafood twist to the dish. The accompanying chips were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, just the way I like them. It was a truly satisfying and mouthwatering meal.
What impressed me further was the ease and convenience of making a booking at Barnacles. The process was straightforward, and the staff ensured that everything was in order upon my arrival. It made the entire dining experience seamless and stress-free.
Overall, I highly recommend Barnacles to anyone seeking a fantastic dining experience. The friendly and helpful service, combined with the delicious rib, chips, and prawn special, make it a standout restaurant. Whether you're looking for a casual dinner or a special occasion, Barnacles is sure to leave you with a smile on your face and a satisfied appetite.
Location. Location. Location. Situated at the end of Elizabeth road in Sea View is a wonderful restaurant with the best Sea views you can imagine. The waves rolling and crashing add an ambience that nothing can beat. While super pods of dolphins swim up and down the coast almost continuously, riding waves and even leaping out of the water when they're having fun. The servers were nothing but wonderful and the food (we had a sea food extravaganza, hake, calamari and queen prawns) was delicious. Match that with a good draught beer and you have an experience that's tough to beat.
Amazing view. Perfect place for whale spotting on a summer's day - we saw a whole school of whales the whole time we were there. Bring your binoculars!
Fast and Friendly service. We had the Jalapeño balls for a starter which was very good. And the Calamari was quite nice as well.
Barnacles Restaurant is a hidden gem that truly deserves a five-star rating. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the stage for an exceptional dining experience. The rustic coastal décor with the sea, creates a charming and cozy ambiance that makes you feel right at home.
The star of the show, of course, is the food. The menu at Barnacles offers a delightful array of seafood options, but it's not limited to just that. Their diverse selection includes something for everyone. I was particularly impressed with their ribs, which were perfectly cooked, and their seafood , bursting with flavors and generous portions.
The service was impeccable. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making excellent recommendations and ensuring our glasses were never empty. It's evident that the team at Barnacles takes great pride in providing an unforgettable dining experience.
To top it all off, the waterfront location is simply breathtaking. Whether you choose to dine inside or on the outdoor terrace, you'll be treated to stunning views of the ocean, making it an ideal spot for a romantic dinner or a special celebration.
In summary, Barnacles Restaurant is a culinary masterpiece, offering delectable dishes, impeccable service, and a picturesque setting. It's a must-visit for anyone looking to savor the best of the sea in an exquisite and welcoming environment.
What a lovely experience. The location and view you can't put a price too. It is breath taking to say the least. There is pods of dophines that swim up and down the coast. So if you lucky you will see them and I have also spotted whales a few times. The manager is a lovely lady who has been running the business for over 22 years. It gets really busy because it's a locals favorite spot. So be patient you will be served. The food is also a treat and there is a warm loving atmosphere and all the staff are working hard to make you happy. It is a old house that has been converted into restraunt and has a really rustic feel. I will be back for the crayfish😉. See photos below.
Marijuana, our waitress was amazing and the food was great as we looked over the pods of dolphins passing in the ocean. Best service we have had at an establishment in a while. Ten outa' ten!
