Gusto Review - Blue Creek

Hubby and I have been together for two years :) so we understandably wanted to celebrate in style!! :) Our choice of upmarket restaurant was the Blue Creek in Ghar Lapsi... we had a night to remember!

The location: Though definitely off the beaten track, the Blue Creek is worth the drive. It is at Ghar Lapsi, limits of Siggiewi, right by the sea. If you're driving there at night, take it easy as there is no properly surfaced road! If driving there for lunch, enjoy the splendid views on the way!

The place: Very unassuming facade, though the restaurant is tastefully decorated on the inside. If possible, opt to eat out on the fantastic terrace overlooking the blue Mediterranean Sea and the little rock of Filfla in the background :)



The menu: Mmmm... you will be spoilt for choice looking at the fish selection!! Hubby's Italian platter for starters was gorgeous and my home marinated salmon was pink and fresh! For mains we opted for a fresh barracuda (big enough to share) which was cooked to perfection. The chef was extremely helpful in dealing with my finicky inability to deal with fish bones! My double chocolate mousse dessert was heavenly :)

The staff: Extremely helpful and knowledgeable waiting staff, who were polite and served us with a smile, and the occasional joke, all night long! Hats off!!

Gusto: Had no problems getting 50% off our food.. and we saved 30 euro.. of which the waiting staff got a well deserved tip!

P's recommendation: For a romantic dinner, with sumptuous fish, a great atmosphere and excellent staff.. the Blue Creek is the place to go :) And of course, you can save 50% off your food bill by getting your Gusto card here :)
