We went for a quick bite to eat and this cafe did not disappoint! Service was fast, kind, and helpful. Food was delicious! The onion soup was some of the best I’ve ever had! Definitely recommend this unique cafe!

As a novice vegetarian I really like their vegetarian option : Vega quiche! Very delicious. Other side atmosphere is quite cozy.

Could not recommend this place more. The mayonnaise, made in-house, is so delicious I couldn’t forget it. And having come back, it’s even better than I remembered. I had steak, served with a lot of really nice fries (with the amazing mayo) and salad, and a carafe of red wine. Everything absolutely delicious. It’s also an old old place, 1900ish, with loads of history. The journalists used to hang out here and from what I see, the older ones still do. There are books and papers to read if you’re dining alone. The prices are great, staff are lovely and it’s far too quiet for touch a treasure. Price per person: €20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Vegetarian options: There were vegetarian options Dietary restrictions: I have allergies and they were able to help me no problem. Everything is made from scratch so easy to modify
