Paargu means 'summer house' and this slick little pavilion near the tip of the Sõrve Peninsula only kicks off in the warmer months. Grilled fish, freshly caught locally, is usually the pick of the menu, but there are burgers and grilled chicken too. With a beachside deck and beach-house vibe, it's very popular with visitors to Sõrve Lighthouse.
