Grafen
A café and bar with a varied menu of foods. The restaurant reinvented itself into Grafen and now serves up a luxurious Mediterranean-style offering rather than the more fast-food offering it previously had. It has dishes like steamed mussels. They have an extensive beer, wine and cocktail list (including local artisanal beers) and a quite popular place for just going out for a drink. It is best to come in the evening when the menu is larger.
