About
From the sea to the table.
Utopia was born by the sea — it's the name of the catamaran that has been taking people out on trips for years with one promise: the quality you'd expect to pay a lot more for, at a price that doesn't sting. The same principle now has a kitchen, a grill and a counter. At the bar and the hot-food counter, we work with professional Electrolux ovens that regenerate every product properly — consistent quality, honest bills. In the deli, lasagne, parmigiana and gateau are made by hand every morning. At the grill, first-rate meat cooked on professional Electrolux gas grills — and the bill stays reasonable. It sounds too good to be true. It isn't.
“We cook well. We charge fair.”
