Why you should visit it
The owners of this place have run a pâtisserie since 1975, so you can expect a wide range of delicious cakes, pastries and other baked goods. They also serve salads, sandwiches and meat dishes. Keep in mind that the prices are above average.
Special tip
Order a cup of tea or coffee, soak up the views and watch the seagulls as they fly overhead.
