Let’s be honest, we all love this place and the atmosphere, especially when the trees bloom and when there is live music in the summer. The service is top notch, waiters are very friendly and helpful every time. The food however doesn’t always keep up. The shrimp salad is supposed to come with a ginger sauce, yet it comes with a basic mayonnaise. I have nothing against a shrimp cocktail, but it’s a bit offensive to assume that the client won’t make the difference. Also, the green salad with orange is a really nice option under the vegetarian menu, but would taste even better with fresh leafs and less oil on it. Besides, the sauce that goes with it’s diary based and if you’re lactose intolerant, well, prepare to pay extra for some olive oil. Lastly, I stopped ordering almond based milk drinks. Several times it had a sour taste and the colour was very off putting. I would suggest buying fresh almond milk in small amounts from Biorganic across the street, there is nothing wrong with admitting their competitive advantage and leveraging it ; ) I’ll probably still come back though because of the nice staff...

When we sat down and called for the waitress, she didn't even greet us and asked us with an unhappy face where the girls that were at the table before us were. We said we didn't know and that the table was empty when we came. She said that those girls didn't pay and that we shouldn't be sitting at that table. Then she left without offering any alternatives and by the time we came to find her inside the building, that table outside had been occupied by other people. The waitress didn't apologize to us and was very rude throughout the whole process. There was no "sincerity" in that...
Read moreI ordered the poached egg with hollandaise sauce, salmon, avocado and toast. We call it "eggs benedict" in English speaking countries. I know hollandaise sauce very well. This dish's greatest depends on a real hollandaise sauce. Unfortunately, the hollandaise has no taste, there is no strong tart taste typical, it didn't taste like anything at all. I suspect that they either use the eggs whites plus the yolk to save on wasting the eggs, or use a vegetable based oil in their emulsification. It is disappointing to pay a premium price that I would pay in Germany or Australia for something that doesn't have that...
