Budda Café
A terrace restaurant built over the canal. Pizza, crêpes and seafood are on offer, but the main draw is having a drink by the water and watching the boats go by.
The most-reviewed restaurant in the village, located on the canal side of the main street. Its terrace is built right over the water, so you can eat while watching boats and waterbirds on the canal. The menu is international, with pizza, pasta, burgers, sandwiches and homemade crêpes, plus fresh seafood and ceviche. Vegetarian options include a chickpea burger and falafel, and the cocktails are well reviewed. Many people come here for an evening drink. Prices are mid-to-upper range for the village.
