Bill Morley

Great place to sit and have lunch or pre-dinner drinks while listening to the travelling musicians in Square directly adjacent. Each time we visit, my wife and I like to share a large jug of their lovely white sangria - so refreshing on these warm evenings. Highly recommended.

Situated in the main square and you will be entertained by the buskers. It has a nice clean washroom

Frank Cacciatore

Great place for a cocktail or beer before and after dinner. The buskers perform while you enjoy your drink. Haven't had any food there but the cocktails are good, and the service is great.
