We paid €8 for 2 medium cups of tea which were served in plastic cups! We didn’t eat any food so can’t comment on that.There are toilet facilities which at the time of our visit were clean and had paper towels, soap etc. The views from outside the restaurant are stunning and our coach stopped here for 30 minutes so we had plenty of time to take photos and admire the scenery.Enjoy

The service is very very bad, very unpleasant. The prices are too expensive. read more The service is very very bad, very unpleasant. The prices are too expensive.

He made the best food I have had in our six month trip around Europe. It ranks as one of my best meals of all time. And it wasn't even expensive!

Some of the staff were not so friendly (unless it is culture, language thing) and food was Ok but expensieve. Nice location though read more Some of the staff were not so friendly (unless it is culture, language thing) and food was Ok but expensieve. Nice location though
