I recently visited this cafe and was blown away by the incredible food, excellent service, and stunning view. The menu offers a delicious variety of options, and everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff were friendly and attentive, making us feel welcomed and well taken care of throughout our meal. And the view from the cafe was truly breathtaking, adding to the overall experience. I highly recommend this cafe to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience and a memorable view. 5 stars all around

I was really looking forward to this place, based on some online recommendations and the amazing photos I've seen of the cakes, however, we were unfortunately a bit underwhelmed by the overall experience, and especially by the cakes. As you can see in the photos, we tried the: chocolate orange cake, pistachio marzipan and strawberry meringue (pavlova? . They were quite average, despite looking delicious and enticing. The chocolate orange one was so dry and crumbly with a dry and dense white cream in the middle; the marzipan one was a bit too sweet and you could feel the sugar grinding against your teeth when chewing: the meringue one was a bit better but nothing to write home about. We also tried the cheese pastizi which had a nice texture but could have done with some extra salt in the cheese (tasted a bit bland . Lastly I had a toasted sandwich with egg, cheese and ham which was like something you prepare at home when you're too lazy to cook. The atmosphere is how you'd expect from a super busy place, with long queues of noisy tourists and the waiters running around like headless chickens to cope with the demand (not their fault . As you can guess, the service is really lacking and slow. The view depends heavily on where your table is, we were fortunate enough to get a decent spot with nice views. In conclusion, the place is a bit overhyped and not worthy of a second visit, in my honest opinion.

Best breakfast ever. Good quality ingredients and good execution in a lovely setting.
