Where to eat
Paternoster has become a destination for foodies.
Wolfgat was named best restuarant in the world 2019.
The local crayfish (buy in season and only from Nora our housekeeper), the oysters from the Oyster factory at the end of the beach or buy the fresh catch from the fisherman if they are throwing nets infront of Zula!. We prefer to eat at home as you can't beat our view.
