Reviews
Amazing view. It was crowded as hell, we had to wait 30-40 minutes to find somewhere to sit, and it was in may( not busy season). Food was quite nice, we had a chicken sandwich and a pork burger was pretty delicious. I see some reviews about bad food and after effects but we didnt get anything like that. It is a little bit expensive but normal for a place like that.
(Translated by Google) Cafeteria with a beautiful view. Consider buying a drink (like a coffee) first so you can enjoy the view and use the restrooms all day using the QR code on your receipt. Otherwise, the restrooms cost €1 with the QR code at the entrance. One star less for the cafeteria because there are several flies. (Original) Cafeteria avec une tres belle vue. N’hésitez pas à venir d’abord acheter une boisson (un café par exemple) afin de pouvoir profiter de la vue et des toilettes toute la journée avec le QR code sur votre ticket de caisse. Car sinon les toilettes sont à 1 € avec le QR code à l’entrée de celles-ci. Petite étoile en moins pour la cafeteria car il y a plusieurs mouches qui volent.
Pedimos unos helados y Aníbal, el encargado, además de atendernos de forma muy amable, nos ofreció probar varios sabores. Estaban muy ricos!! 😋 Lo recomendando totalmente! (Translated by Google) We ordered some ice cream and Aníbal, the manager, was not only very friendly but also offered us several flavors to try. They were delicious!! 😋 I highly recommend it!
