Things to Note

• It’s within a tourist site (castle complex), so expect slightly higher pricing compared to average street cafés. One reviewer noted that pricing felt “mid‐range” for a tourist venue.

• The environment might be quieter earlier in the day, ideal for relaxing rather than a loud café vibe.

• As it’s located inside the castle grounds, access may depend on the castle’s opening hours and any admission charges.

• Always check current opening hours or menu changes before you go, especially if you plan a specific meal.
