    So happy we stumbled across this gem hidden away in a park next to Tinguely museum. Such great vibes on the outdoor terrace with very reasonably priced good food. And very importantly, a place that actually serves healthy food that kids can eat, not that nuggets and fries poison that most other places serve. Well done guys!
