We had hamburger which was delicious! The steak (as separate dish) wasn't great, it was tiny portion for the price. Overall great place but smell of cigarettes!

Had breakfast here with a group of fellow travellers. They have a quaint decor with really good micoco omelette. Give it a shot while on the island.

Very cool space, has a pool table etc. Lunch menu has a good amount of choice, cooked quickly right in front of you. Good spot for morning coffee.

Great food. Not expensive. The owner is very friendly, but he won’t come talk to you. Would go back again. In 8 days at the island my family and I had 3 delicious meals there.
