Lovely spot for breakfast!! We enjoyed avocado toast with fried egg, waffle with banana, fruit salad with Greek yoghurt, honey and granola, and toasted baguette with crushed tomato and Iberian ham. The waitress was friendly and took great care of us.

The place to sit for early/late afternoon sun & watch the world go by in Duquesa Marina. Good front line position. As in most places, the clientele can get boisterous & noisy as the afternoon progresses and the alcohol flows.
