The best restaurants strike the perfect blend of great food (sensational) and incredibly personable wait staff. Our waitress was delightful, attentive and unobtrusive, and we immediately forgave her for taking the duck pastilla off the menu. The new menu was just as fresh and tasty and I highly recommend!

Food was incredible, service was friendly. If anything, drink service was a bit slow but they seemed understaffed for the amount of people there so hard to know. Would definitely go again though. Great value for nice food in the current climate, was not hungry in any way after leaving. I may still be full tomorrow.

Lovely cafe with friendly staff. We sat inside but it wasn’t noisy. Impressed they offer complimentary cold sparkling water, along with still, from help yourself taps. Order and pay at the counter which is good so that everyone can pay individually. Food was relatively quick and everyone enjoyed their meals. I had fish tacos which I enjoyed but didn’t realise they were a hard shell tortilla - much prefer soft but that’s just a personal preference. The onions ring are delicious. Will definitely return as we didn’t have time to have coffee, which I believe is very good.
