Mel & Pimenta
This small, airy bistro serves daily specials like tasty grilled fish and quiche with salad, which draw in the local lunch crowd. The tempting dessert case, however, means that any time is a good time to stop by for coffee and chocolate tart. You can also get a healthy breakfast here.
