From outside it looks like a gray rectangle, but inside it’s vibrant, luminous, spacious, green. The top floor is outstanding with its wide open area, trees and cafes to sit in. In the basement there are several luxury pastry shops, ideal for gifts or self-indulgence.

We went there in the late afternoon for a quick splash and a drink in the deckchair. Well deserved after a hot summer day touring the city.

Excellent barbecue. We ordered a mixed plate with beef, pork and chicken, which came with mushrooms and vegetables: meat was tender and savoury. The beef stew had a light bitter aftertaste which gave a nice balance to the spicy flavours. The pancake was made with a lot of chives and some seafood: it tasted nice and light. We had to queue a bit to get a table but it was definitely worth it.
