A good black americano in a nice coffee cup and saucer with a little coffee spoon to fiddle with. Only 2€. Lovely view of the mountains and harbour. Friendly.

The drinks are good but I never saw such a good customer service. The table next to us had a bag of gifts to travel home, while the waiter greeted them, the customer by accident kicked over the present. The waiter was not even at fault and immediately said he would replace it. So he went off and replaced the bootle and gave them also additionally a bottle of white wine. Seriously good hearted service unlike anything I have ever seen.

This is an excellent place for a lunch with a nice view by the waters and rocks. It's nice to spend your time here when having a lunch or just wanting a drink. The owner seems like a good guy to have around as well.
