The village oasis. Located next to the river in a secluded jungle of apple trees it's well worth a visit for its ambience alone. Only had mineral water so cannot comment on the food however three tourists had a meal, drinks and coffee for 360 Swedish crocodiles combined. Doesn't serve alcohol, I asked as it would be a perfect day drinking location during sunshine. Dog-friendly; there was one brown dog named Edgar roughly six months old, something in-between my friend Andres dog Boston and Steve's dog Scout, both brown but Australian so probably not related. There was a child holding a stuffed animal (dog) at the table next to our table. As I was managing the leash of the real dog, I asked the owner at our table if it bites. I wanted to extend the leash so the child could play with Edgar but with the assurance it wouldn't bite the child. The owner responded that it doesn't bite as it's not even a real dog. Also present was one German Shepherd that I estimated to be two years old but turned out to be three years old. I deduced that it's family may be struggling with budget and thus feeds him less than recommended or that it's a German Shepherd mix but the owners are brand-lovers and refuse to admit the mix, nonetheless it too got pats. I did not comment on the assumed financial situation of the family. Will revisit once I get my first friend.

Very friendly owner and staff. Superb location, a real green oasis close to the river with a children's playground right next to it. Ideal for families. The waffles were very good and they cater for allergies. I can understand the more negative reviews, as the waitresses are schoolgirls who get their first work experience here. But as we found here, if you go to the chef, he will do his best to make up for any inconvenience. We had no complaints, though. On the other hand, you should expect a relaxed little paradise here, and not a stressed-to-perfection fast-food restaurant... With the right attitude, you'll love this place as much as we do!

Nice coffee/"fika" place close to the river, it offers your regular fare of baked goods, beverages and drinks, all fresh are quite nice. What's special about it is that the outdoor seating is in a garden that allows you to enjoy the views and the sun.

Beautiful place. A few hundred meters from the city, yet it feels like you're out on the countryside. Affordable prices and good service.
