"A must-go place for ice cream with great value and wonderful flavors! Never expect that in a tourist area. I literally went there every other day during my stay. Love its pineapple sorbetto, not a common flavor in ice cream shops, def try that if you’re a pineapple lover! :"

"I think that's the best restaurant I've ever been. we came a little later than booked because of an accident on the road, but the staff was so polite and happy to accommodate us when we expected to turn away. we ordered appetizers, haupt- und desserts, when we wanted to try a little, but of everything. we received a few free nibbles before our appetizers arrived, which was such a beautiful surprise and every one that was served us was a delicious palate from the taste heaven. we were also served a little brot (I think they said it was made with beer) that was very dense, but delicious and very full. I really want the recipe for this brot so I can make it home! every time a court came out, the waiter would kindly explain to us every element. eating is beautifully presented and each element of the plate really compliments. although the portions of some can be classified as small, they are incredibly full and they leave the restaurant feeling full and satisfied. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone in the opposite and if I ever again will definitely visit again. for the quality of food they receive, this place is very favorable as well."

"We ordered the family deal at £36 including delivery. It was delivered when promised. The food was delicious and plentiful. In fact there was enough for all four of us to have a chip butty the next day! Would definitely recommend."
