Hmmmm....very good service, tasty food and friendly lady at the counter. Felt nostalgic and a bit sad because of all the animals. I'll definitely be back and I definitely recommend.

It is a very nice place. I recommend everyone to visit. Amazing experience for everyone who is not against taxidermy. Atmosphere is something else here. Just one note for everone, you can eat here, but it is not a café. Google recommend this as café, I would just change it for an experience restaurant.
