Food Scene
Cafe Stamboul AS
45A Vogts gateA low budget Turkish restaurant, however the food is tasty and made from scratch.
A pizzabar and cafe that serves great breakfast as well. The owner is Argentinian, and as a lot of the guests are foreigners as well, it gives you an international feeling. My regular cafe :)

One of my favorite restaurants when I want to give myself a "gourmet treat". Part of the restaurant is a bar-restaurant where one cannot book a table ahead. The menu here is smaller, but just as good!
