This popular cafe by the edge of the lake in City Park dating back to 1895 is a great place to relax, watch rowers on the lake and have a coffee or sundowner. If you're peckish, you can go for something more substantial, such as crispy duck leg with braised cabbage (4890Ft), slow-baked lamb (5760Ft) or grilled sheep's cheese with roast vegetables (4300Ft).
