The Verdict
If you love a good share menu and you're partial to spectacular ocean views, then Island Market in Trigg is the place for you. After you've finished admiring the bright white and pastel pink interiors, take a look at the menu and just try to narrow it down to a reasonable amount of food—this is the hard part. Think filled pitas, Israeli smashed avo, feta labneh, taramasalata, baba ghanoush and hummus to start, then choose from scrumptious dishes like wood-roasted chicken wings, fried calamari, BBQ octopus, mussels and much more! Dessert is also a must, with dishes like wood-roasted pineapple, ouzo caramel and mastitha ice-cream or cinnamon doughnuts with pedro ximinez ice cream. Yum.
