WONDERFUL deli of Turkish/Mediterranean salads & fish. Breakfast looked awesome, but we had a light lunch of mussel/salmon/avocado fritters & Moroccan chickpea salad & salmon on the side.

Tried Cafe in March 2017 - waiter man was very rude. Thought we would give another try, unfortunately another bad experience. Only one meal arrived and coffee was only luke warm. Sorry, won't be back again.
