We wanted to stop here for the great view but we weren’t sure from looking online, if they served food (and we were hungry). We took a chance on it and so glad we did - they have a selection of sandwiches / baguettes which are freshly made to order; meaning the bread is really fresh and warm with great fillings. They are incredibly good value. Worth a stop if you are passing and need some lunch in a relaxing atmosphere. Very friendly service as well

With a balcony that overlooks the mountains, a kind woman serves all types of coffee from Greek coffee (a little like Turkish coffee) to a latte macchiato. For 15 Euros, my group ordered a Greek coffee, a latte macchiato, two “Freddo Cappuccinos,” and an orange juice in a bottle. The coffee is strong and well brewed.

we needed a drink after travel and stopped at this roadside cafe?it looked like a standard little5 seats and watch the road traffic? but go through to the rear and you are 30 metres above the valley with unobstructed views across the valley we had travelled, just fantastic view of open country and the best cold beer and fresh sandwich just dont miss this gem if you are in the area

Definitely stop here if you‘re passing through. Looks like a small coffe-shop from the outside but opens up to the back with a wonderful view of the hills and „mountains“ 10/10 would recommend for a refresh on the road!
