18:36 | ![]() The Soup is good.
Bread is not heated, but it is good bread Set Menu: soup, main course, dessert for 30b, but that's only for lunch? so it kind of sucks... The service is not very attentive, but it may because I show up too early for dinner... Ordered a tomatoes cream soup for 15B Vegetarian omelet for 25B And also a sprite Total: 41B |
18:53 | ![]() The food is good, of whatever you would expect from a vegetarian omelet.
Price: 25B |
