The waiters are smiling and the service is fast. However, avoid Sundays, the place is often full to bursting!
GRAY GUM CAFE
Read moreMusic and Rock'n'roll....that's how you can describe the Gray Gum Cafe when you stop by on weekends.

We like the open-air bar, the tables laid out here and there in the property and the burgers served, generously accompanied by fries, or the meats on barbecue. Beer at discretion.
