My favourite place, for lunch (from 2PM) and dinner. Besides the wonderful ambiance of the location, inside and outside the location, these mussels are the best! But also the other (seafood) dishes are highly recommended. For dinner it's best to make a reservation. And don't forget to order at least 1 gin-cocktail!
