The food was tasty, however they would need to work on the packaging for takeaways and their attention to detail for the orders. I ordered an iced coffee, which spilled all over the food and the bag leaked all over the apartment. Not only that, but I ordered Egg Royale and was given a plain toasted bread with 2 poached eggs. Fairly disappointing experience. Safe to say I won’t be ordering from them again. Service: Takeaway Food: 2 Service: 1

We were then Left sitting for 15 mins without a menu. everyone in the cafe was annoyed as they just couldn't cope,as it was probably busier than expected as it was a fab day. Ended up walking out and got a smart comment off the angry looking guys preparing the food. Thank god I didn't give them a penny of my money... never again they only in business because of the wonderful location.

I highly recommend trying the roasted vegetables with scrambled eggs. While the servers may come off as a bit aloof at times, I found it to be in line with the European dining experience, adding to the authenticity of the restaurant. They were still attentive and polite. It didn't bother me at all.
