It kind of felt a bit too intense at times but it was nice they cared. One of us had the set menu €13.50 which was very good value for three... More

Was unsure because this was our regular restaurant and it has changed hands. A nice English couple run it now. The food is still good and we had a friendly welcome. We did however have a long wait for our food. But it was busy.
