Florian

Cafe$

This Euro-coded spot is the star of Rathdowne Village for good reason. Marble-topped tables, antique crockery and elegant bric-a-brac set the stage for greeting the sun, ditto the breakfast plate of soft-boiled eggs, gravlax and rye. Lunch is about comfort-centric pastas and loaded sandwiches. A new homewares range brings the je ne sais quoi to all.
