Full description

Cafe Calton offers a calm daytime stop with a wide view over the city, and reviewers consistently mention well-presented, fresh food alongside attentive service. It has become a draw in its own right, so seating inside fills up, with counter spots sometimes available to walk-ins.

The menu is easy on the wallet compared with other viewpoint venues, and opening hours stretch from breakfast until evening, suiting solo visitors and couples alike for a coffee, brunch or a celebratory meal.

Reviews

Reservation is definitely recommended! We managed to get in without one and were seated at the counter/bar. The café has a beautiful city view, the food was absolutely amazing, and the service was excellent. A lovely spot with great food, a great atmosphere, and a beautiful view. Definitely worth a visit!
