Exquisite dining experience at Mérito restaurant. Exceptional decor, assured expertise from the staff, deep food and beverage knowledge from our head waiter and sommelier, and truly inspiring, delicious and memorable food and drink.

Undoubtedly one of the best anywhere.

We ran a party 🏳️‍🌈

Just a little party we pulled together…

A truly fabulous family occasion - the Twins 80th birthday. Gathering at a sunny seaside deck and garden, a feast of food, and the 80 year old twin sisters opening gifts.
