On our first visit, we had a late breakfast in the outside section. I was dressed a bit lightly, and the cool sea air was a bit fresh, but this was taken care of by our waitress who provided a blanket and hot-water bottle! Service was brilliant, the food was beautifully presented and truly delicious; little touches such as a freshly baked biscotti with your coffee will leave you deeply satisfied.
I had the most divine Huevos Rancheros (eggs sunny side up in a mild chilli tomato-bean sauce on a tortilla) [R52], Leanne had scrumptious Camembert French Toast with preserved fig and syrup [R58], and an equally delicious Farmer’s Omelette [59] and Café Breakfast [R56] were ordered at the table. Our café lattés [R22] were delicious and served with decadent chocolate biscotti. Tea [R14] and Fresh Orange [R17] finished off a breakfast fit for a king.
We have since made numerous return visits, most recently for a delicious lunch!
