A funky renovated beach bar with restaurant that sits out over the Mediterranean Sea alongside the small Marina. The owner Tony is passionate about his food and serves only fresh seafood all year round. If he can't get it at the markets in Trapani that morning, it won't be on the menu that night! Unlike the other local restaurant he doesn't freeze his food, so you are getting the food as it should taste - delicious! However, he does advocate the use of the freezer for his unique ice creams made on the premises with real fruit and water. Tasting is believing. Tourist menu available. They speak English, French, German and Spanish. The outfit operates as a bar late at night also.
250-seat restaurant right on the coast but views are difficult as the restaurant is closed in. However, prices are good and service is fast. Dishes are tasty but not outstanding. Bar alongside. Tourist menu available.
A family friendly Lido bar alongside the sea, with a small section of private beach. Turns into a nightclub in the evenings. Dismantled in the winter. Replaced the original 'Lido Tre Torri' that burnt down.
A friendly bar, gelateria and meeting point. Open until late. The staff speak English, French, German, Spanish, Polish and even Italian!
Another of the 5 bars in Marausa, this one resembles a run-down bar in the American Mid-West in the forecourt of a petrol station. But the staff are friendly and it's quiet and frequented by the locals
