Half of the products cost almost 50% more if you don't have their loyalty card. Extremely hostile system, especially towards foreigners on a short visit.

Incredibly well done restoration of a historic tower. It's a short visit, but if you're into medieval architecture, I'd say it's a must see!

This restaurant is a bit of a hit or miss. Plenty of positions in their menu are excellent, but some we'd rather avoid. We keep coming back here as overall it's a decent place, but you really need to know what to pick. The latte here always tastes like it was made with a spoiled milk. It isn't obviously, but the taste is weird. Same thing about their matchas. Their raf halva on the other hand is amazing.

I had an excellent latte here. Their minimalistic interior is very pleasant to sit in.

I was extremely disappointed that at the end of our meal the waitress tried to push us to pay via the QR code on the table instead of letting us pay by card like we asked. The QR code payment is handled by a third-party service that adds their own extra commission to the bill. This is sneaky and unfair. If the restaurant wants to use such service for their convenience, they should cover the fees themselves.

We ordered two mains. Both were the size of a starter. Barely had any sides. Nothing in the menu suggested they're going to be that small. Especially the price. We left hungry, mislead and disappointed.

I ordered the chicken pad thai here. It was one of the worst I had in a long time. There was barely any meat in it, the portion was really small and it was too spicy.
