La Pecora Nera

Reviewed By robinjn1 - oxford

This restaurant is located 80m down a gravel alley almost immediately next to Le Chameleon hotel.
Don’t be put off by its location. The food is really good, and the chef is supported by a family team who strive to make the whole dining experience here a memorable one. Very good choice on the menu, and this is supplemented by several specials which the staff are very happy to explain.
The service is relaxed yet efficient.
The price is towards the high side, but the quality is very good.
We ate there twice during our 3 day stay in the area.

Pura Gula

Reviewed By liliansy - Sao Paulo, SP

I went to Pura Gula for dinner with some friends. The food and service were good and price is reasonable. They call themselves as "slowfood" and, yes, the food took about 35 min to be served. We had fish with potatoes, veggies and salad that were delicious! Remember bringing cash because they don't accept credit cards.

Cafe Rico, where to start? Of coarse at Cafe Rico every morning. Roger and his staff are the absolute most hospitable of all. Yum yum yum. From eating the best food to meeting people from all over in the most relaxing location with so much to take in. See my pictures and go say hi to Roger and his gang. Best cup of coffee, tea, lemonade ginger, orange juice all from scratch. Ama Rosa- AMAZING!! Banana bread French toast with Maple Syrup, omelettes, best ever bacon, avocado, beets, garlic, fruit, yogurt, eggs and potatoes!!! Atmosphere - the best. I can’t sum it all in 100 words. See the pictures visit the place and see for yourself. Say hi to Roger for me.
