ℹ️ The weather has an effect on if Sem’s is open. They do have some inside space but it’s not the best place to site (it’s in an office complex type building)

☀️ If the weather is nice Sems is a great place to visit.

Editors Comment

I love to visit Sems with my children for breakfast. They make some fantastic American-style pancakes that my son absolutely loves. I always go for the full English breakfast, which doesn’t disappoint.

Along with the yummy food, Sems is in a great location, so take some time to enjoy the view.

One to visit! You’ll love it.

Lovely breakfast, friendly staff, right on the sea front. Not sure I understand the 2 tables that were for drinks only, people turned away who wanted to eat, seems like bad business sense. Will definitely return

The Location

Sems is right on the front with views of the beach, the sea, and Gibraltar.

If you have children it’s perfect as they can plan in the sand and you can watch them from the tables at Sems.

Lovely location by the beach
Inside space isn’t great
Limited tables so you might want to reserve yourself a spot.

Sems usually doesn’t open if the weather is bad so keep that in mind before heading out.
