A 19th-century cottage with a large dining garden (covered and heated in winter) is the setting for this very popular, informal meeting place. In a corner of the garden, a brick
taboon (oven) turns out focaccia and pizza. You can order generous hot salads filled with stir-fried veggies and chicken or goose breast, plus soups, cold salads, pizzas, pastas, or stylish appetizers such as fried calamari or a plate of smoked salmon with quail eggs, cream cheese, and raw vegetables. The clientele ranges from professors to families to teeny-boppers, the atmosphere is lively, and the place gradually becomes an alfresco bar late on summer nights.
