What to order
At lunchtime, salads, pasta and savoury dishes to share; the home-made shrimp croquettes are the ones they recommend themselves, and each season they add specials. In the afternoon, the house cakes, ice-cream sundaes and pancakes served with sugars, butter and a jar of home-made jam. The coffee and tea list runs to some forty varieties; every hot drink comes with chocolate mousse, cream and a house biscuit.
