Very nice menu. A little bit noisy inside but the staff is friendly, you don't have to wait too long to get a table, and the pancakes are as fluffy as they should be!

Waiters are super friendly .. Dinner was unexpectedly great ❤️ Greek plate and calamari as appetizers and see bass with special risotto and tortellini both were good.

Get the jumbo breakfast and share with a friend, less than a tenner and you get a full English breakfast plus pancakes and fruit! More than enough for two

English breakfast is delicious, generous portions and cooked 'just right'. Very yummy. I was not impressed by the espresso though.

The food in this place is excellent. For me it's either steak and poached eggs for breaky or Red thai curry for dins. Starters are good too.

Perfect margaritas
Karl WardenJanuary 21, 2013
The food AND coffee are awesome. The person who hated the coffee was probably an American who loves weak see through Dunkin donuts coffee. This is real good dark European coffee

The coffee is rubbish not because it's weak I hate weak coffee as much as burnt coffee and it's definitely burnt
James BrookJuly 28, 2011
