The best brunch, with gluten-free and vegan options too, including the best dairy-free cheese in town. My favourites are their huevos divorciados and peanut butter smoothies.

Great dinners, on the pricier side. Not many vegetarian options, but at least two seafood mains a night. And the staff are the sweetest––when I got my wisdom teeth removed, they gave me mashed potatoes on the house.
