Drawing on inspiration from all over the Mediterranean, Sotano (Spanish for "cellar") is a casual eatery that concentrates on using fresh, seasonal produce to create simple but delicious dishes. In the warmer months enjoy beautiful views of the Mouille Point promenade and tuck into flatbreads, beef tartare, grilled calamari or freshfish. Joining us for the autumn or winter? No problem. Grab a seat inside by the fire, order a glass of red wine and try out hearty comfort food like beef bourguignon, bouillabaisse or lamb kleftiko. You don't need to have a huge meal though, with the tapas menu providing a great way to have a quick bite and relax with a few friends.

As the name suggests, there is a strong emphasis on wine, with a good mixture of boutique wineries and more established farms. Having been responsible for the much-loved Caveau restaurants, the operators pride themselves in choosing wine that will satisfy a wide range of tastes and budgets

Sótano offers an all day Mediterranean-influenced dining and cocktail experience. From the people that brought you Caveau, Sótano is the sea-side equivalent. Gorgeous flat-breads galore, wafer-thin pizzas, and classic bistro mains.
