Rough Guide
Star
"Sets a new standard for bohemian chic."
Michelin Guide
"In the middle of it all, you can quite literally get anywhere from here, but pull up a chair and stay awhile. It's the real deal, nailing that beatnik sensibility, and it even comes with a past."
Fodor's
"The vibe is unstuffy and down-to-earth, making it a popular hangout for creatives and people who work from wherever they lay their laptop." Full review
Insight Guides
"Combine the old-world charm of 1904 surroundings with a boho-chic vibe and what do you get? Hipster heaven."
