Octapas Cafe

This is a great spot! Outdoor seating on a nice day is a must. Right by the lake, you can do a nice walk first, then have a wonderful lunch alfresco.

The shashuka wasn’t traditional which is clear on the menu and it tasted fine, however the dish is very shallow so you only get what you see on top. Weird thing about this plate was a wet piece of a paper menu under the small plate, not sure if it was intentional but we found it strange. The goat cheese tart was sadly bland, the very top with herb and cheese was decent but most of it just
