*Pinch me, I must be dreaming* We stopped in for a drink while waiting for a ferry, and - based on the service, menu and view - decided to book dinner for the next night. I'm not sure I've ever made a better impromptu decision. Location-wise: I'd struggle to find a better place to watch the sun set over the ocean. Service: honest, kind and thoughtful. Not a place to visit if you're in a hurry: having said that I'd never want to rush through a meal here. Food: between the four of us we ordered a bit of everything and I'm so glad we did. The pizza was amazing: crumbly chunks of chorizo spread over a puffy-edged wood fired base. The pesto chicken pasta (not my choice) was al dente with a clingy and balanced sauce. We also ordered a series of dishes from the tapas menu - focaccia, ceviche, squid, prawns, lamb ribs, spicy potatoes and barracuda - and this is where the restaurant really sparkled. The considerate combination of flavours in each plate was just lovely ... delicious without being pretentious. I'd wholeheartedly recommend having a chat with the staff if you're not sure what to order. We shouldn't have ordered dessert ... but we did and I don't regret it. The dessert menu isn't huge but - again - simple and perfect. I've always thought that the beauty in life is small, hidden and unexpected moments, and tonight's dinner was definitely one of them.

This is a great little place by the river with a truly amazing variety of tapas dishes. The menu features so many tasty options, and because it's tapas, you get to sample a little of everything. The focaccia was amazing, as were the tender, flavorful lamb ribs. They have a fantastic drinks menu that caters to all tastes, from cocktails to wines. The staff were very welcoming and the service was excellent. The restaurant's location right by the water creates a wonderful ambiance. The intimate lighting and waterfront view made for a truly enjoyable and memorable dining experience. Definitely would recommend if you're in the area!

The restaurant is located at the end of a harbor, and we didn’t expect to find something so beautiful there. It’s very nicely designed and perfect for watching the sunset. We were pleasantly surprised to be greeted in German, as the chef is from Tyrol. Both the service and the food were excellent. We especially enjoyed the passionfruit soda and the focaccia. They also serve delicious stone oven pizzas and many seafood dishes. We liked it so much, we had to go back a second time.

Fantastic home made food served with the most amazing sunset view across the harbour. The tapas was excellent, but also had pizza and Italian food. Recommended if you are over this way.

I absolutely loved my dining experience at TAPAS in Langkawi! The atmosphere was cozy yet vibrant, perfect for a relaxed evening. The highlight of my meal was the seafood pasta — perfectly cooked with olive oil and garlic, bursting with fresh flavors and generous portions of seafood. It was simple, authentic, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Langkawi. Amazing food, coffee and great vibes! روعة المكان طعاماً وقهوة وأجواء وخدمة

Located at the very northern part of Pantai Cenang beach, this place is a bit out of the way but fairly easy to find with some navigation. The food was decent and reasonably priced, offering something a bit different from the usual. The grilled chicken wings and lamb ribs were particularly enjoyable. The staff were attentive, and the food came out quite quickly, which was a nice touch. I’d consider returning if I’m in the area again.
