Stopped here for a late lunch one day and was delighted by the French cafe atmosphere and great prices. One of the best places for a delicious "bite" rather than a sumptuous dinner.

First time in this shop and was pleasently surprised. Great food either pre made or made to order. Was turned on to this place by a local. Clean and modernly decorated but the best was the the afterlunch treats.
