Family Restaurant (180m - 2 minute walk) Right around the corner this very basic family restaurant offers a selection of food options, including brunch. Host recommendation would be to stick to the restaurant side, which also has a small outdoor patio. This is not fine dining by any means, but we've eaten many a family meal here over the years.
