Es un sitio que suelen recomendar los guías. Está bastante bien pero en mi opinión hay mejores (y más baratas) opciones.

Nagyon finom minden, többször voltam már itt. Túlárazott. A mai napon leűltem egy asztalhoz (bent) amin volt egy koszos tányér. Mikor kihozták a kávém és a szendóm megkértem őket, hogy töröljék le az asztalt (hiszen ha mág itt egy koszos tányér akkor nem volt letörölve se az előző vendég után). Nagy szájhúzva, úgy feliből-harmadából letörölte egy fiatal csaj az asztalt. Mondtam neki, hogy a koszos tányér nem az enyém, erre nagy felháborodva felvette, és flegmán megkérdezte, hogy “Ennyi?”. Ez a jellegű hozzáállás nem áll ár/érték arányban ezzel a pékséggel.
