Such a great Cafe for a hearty lunch with generous portions in a beautiful setting. We had a sunny day so could enjoy the outdoor seating but there are tables inside near a fire place for those colder days. Great value for money, can highly recommend!

Beautiful view. Serene. Coffee is good. Cheesecake was disappointing.

I ate in here a few times as I was staying at Sani Lodge Backpackers. The evening meal (pre book) is three courses, every meal I had was delicious and the portions were huge! I also ate off the cafe menu (halloumi wrap) again delicious and nice fresh produce. Staff are friendly and it’s in a beautiful location.

Wonderful local cheeses (made in house) and the best apple pie ever. We spent a relaxing hour or two here and it was just lovely. Obviously great location.
