In reply to Arianwen.

I don’t hate it, remember, I’m not a visitor here, so sometimes it’s actually nice to discover spots where the language spoken is my own native one. I just found it interesting that there truly wasn’t a single local person having brunch there. I don’t know if it just hasn’t been discovered by anyone other than a few of us expats and some tourists, perhaps that’s who they’re marketing it to…? Who knows. Then again, brunch isn’t a traditional thing here and I often find when I’m out at brunch that there are more tourists and expats eating than locals.
