It is popular with gay clientele (and has been for decades) but actually has a wider mix of clientele than that might suggest, out of season. The decor hasn 't changed in years: there 's a main room downstairs (with a semi-private glass box for a private meeting), more seating upstairs when they are busy. May people prefer to sit outside and people watch, though. On our last visit we met friends there for coffee and cake. as ever, the cakes were great (and though they 're over €5, portions are generous). Staff were happy to let us linger, which is just as well because it was very busy, and service was a little slow, but friendly enough. But we 're still happy to go back!

And maybe dinner, although I didn't quite make it there for that. It's quite stylish inside with a bit of bohemian art thrown in for good measure.

It's always beautifully presented and great value for money.
