What Andy K doesn't like about Ideal:
This is a little bar offering cheap bar food such as toasties, sandwiches etc. The bar is in the old town and easy to find opposite the cable cars. Good Coral stout on draft and other drinks. View all feedback. What User likes about Ideal:
This bar is a great spot to sit and watch the world go by. We have spent a fair amount of time here over several holidays and we always get the same lovely welcome from Joseph and Pedro (sorry we missed Carla this time she was on holiday). The food and drink are very good value for money, lovely local sandwiches and salads with a decent red wine. Hopefully see you all again soon. View all feedback.
