It stands out for its simple yet traditional cuisine at reasonable prices, in contrast to some of the more commercialized, tourist-oriented restaurants nearby. One of its highlights is the outdoor seating, allowing diners to enjoy their meal while taking in beautiful river views, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
