What to Expect
Robust Illy coffee, fresh salads, quiches, and decadent cakes grace the menu, all with a focus on local produce. The light-filled space offers indoor cosiness and outdoor terrace seating with views of peacocks strutting by (yes, really!). It's family-friendly, with kid portions and high chairs, yet sophisticated enough for solo reflection. Prices are museum-standard mid-range, but the ambiance is priceless.
