Or if you just wish to soak up the rays on the sun filled terrace area while watching the world go by. You are encouraged to relax and enjoy yourself. The bar area offers a social lounge area where in the evenings you can enjoy the laid-back sounds of a live DJ or live musicians from the comfort of your arm chair.
We serve breakfast, light meals, lunch and dinner. Not to forget the delightful desserts and cakes, who could say no? With a fully comprehensive wine list including a selection of international wines, all are catered for. The exclusively classic cocktail menu offers the all-time favourites made to utter perfection.
