Went for a family dinner at Benevilla's restaurant. I wouldn't call it a cafe as it was more of a restaurant experience with ordering from menus and having food brought to the table after it's been cooked by the order. Anyway, first off we were greeted by a very lovely waitress who situated us in the kid's area (we were 2 adults and 2 pre school kids), which was partially separated from the main area. The tables were decorated and everything was neat and tidy. The furniture had a luxurious feel to it. Close to our table was a corner of kids toys - lots of options for different ages.

The waitress seemed very caring about our comfort. After the meal we tidied all the toys up, even though the waitress said not to worry about that (kids had made quite a mess!) Overall, we had a lovely experience and we'll know where to go for a kid friendly meal in Alūksne...

Such honesty is noteworthy, a symbol of the service you...
