Nowadays, everyone is capable of making pastries and cakes, I am surprised how they could come up with such a thing.
I believe the café is running because a lot of local workers have nowhere else to go. Prices are insane, too... they clearly take advantage of their customers.
It is well worth the trip though - a nice, smart space with lots of seating inside and out, and great, freshly cooked and prepared food (I had a delicious butternut soup).
At the weekend the 'restaurant' menu comes in (Friday night to Sunday); I need to make a return visit!
The food was seasonal, fresh and the menu items we tried delicious. We had most things on the menu and each dish had exciting flavour combinations and different textures. Nom nom.
The wine we had, a French dry white, was exception, and good value when shared between 4. We even bought a bottle to take home.
Coffee was well made and served in very unique pottery.
Child friendly, yup, very. We had two young children with us, the options for them were good, and there was plenty of things for them to explore in the workshops behind. We easily spent three hours here and enjoyed every minute!
Thank you Lighthaus for making us so so welcome.
Food - interesting yet homely and satisfying. The sweetbreads like the best pop-corn chicken (but not chicken). While the pork ragu and polenta was rich, warming and wholesome, in that bottom of the belly kinda way.
Great coffees and a genius desert of deep fried cherry pie rounded it off.
