Fancy Cafè with good food and life music sometimes. Good prices and friendly staff. Cold drinks are way too sweet, you should know.

() PLACE Cute and cozy with both indoor and outdoor seating. STAFF Friendly and enjoyable to talk to. FOOD The red lentil soup was really nice and vegan. I also tried the salad which wasn't that special but considering that it's hard to find a salad on the island it was ok. If you're a vegan just note that the salad dressing isn't vegan and you'd need to ask them to modify it. PRICE The lentil soup was a bit expensive. The price for the salad was relatively lower but still thought it was high for what I got. OVERALL A must-go-to when on the island especially if vegan as the island doesn't have many options for vegans. The place also offers a variety of souvenirs for purchase.

Tucked away on the otherwise unremarkable promenade between the port and the castle is this charming little tea shop, which also happens to serve the most delicious Chelo Meygu (fried shrimp with rice). Don't miss it!
