It is not a refurbished look-a-like vintage place, it is a real old cafe with the authentic vintage flavour. Really worth the experience to feel how cafes were 50 years ago.

Aquest és un bon lloc per menjar al migdia: hi fan menús casolans. També per anar-hi en qualsevol moment del dia a prendre-hi alguna cosa. A destacar: l'atenció de les persones que hi treballen, molt amables i professionals.
