The Best Restaurants in Gallura reachable by boat

 

The month of August sees the waters around Sardinia teeming with boats of all shapes and sizes: experiencing the island from the sea instead of the beach is something everyone should do at least once.  The trouble is, once you’ve tried it, it’s hard not to want to do it again.

Obviously the month of August isn’t the only time in which people choose to enjoy the beautiful Sardinia sea, whether in a dinghy, a sailboat or a yacht – the period from May to September is also extraordinary.

So, for those who still want the pleasure of enjoying lunch or dinner in an excellent seafront restaurant, we have decided to provide a selection of the best restaurants in Gallura reachable by boat from the sea.

We have deliberately restricted our choice of ​​Sardinian waters to those specifically around Gallura, since it is the most popular area as well as offering a wide variety of mooring options in both harbours and marinas, and therefore numerous restaurant choices. As such, we will be looking just at Gallura and restaurants ranging from the La Maddalena Archipelago to Olbia, passing through the world-famous Costa Smeralda.

If you are looking for a restaurant on dry land in Gallura, this article is for you: the Best Restaurants in Gallura reachable by boat.

 

 

 

 

The best restaurants in Gallura reachable by boat: the selection

 

For the choice of the Best Restaurants in Gallura reachable by boat we have applied objective criteria starting first of all from the location: if the restaurant is not reachable by boat from the sea it is not in our selection.

Then we took the increasingly authoritative TripAdvisor reviews into account, since it is the best-known and used review site worldwide, and if used correctly can be a very useful tool for learning about the ideal places for us.

Finally and obviously, there are the reviews presented by Wonderful Sardinia clients during these first 10 years that we have worked together.

These restaurants also have one thing in common which is the reason why they are not taken into consideration or reviewed by well-known specialized trade magazines such as Il Gambero Rosso, the Michelin Guide or the Espresso Guide. It is the fact that they are seasonal, being open only in the summer to specifically cater for those who arrive at the restaurant by sea.

Having said that, let’s now go and discover together the Best Restaurants in Gallura reachable by boat. They are presented in no particular order and with no grading or classification because they are all deserving of being in first place, each with its own individual features.
