This easygoing spot, at the beginning of Paseo de Montejo, is framed by pretty plants and features an eclectic mix of tables and chairs, more reminiscent of a great aunt's house than a cafe overlooking the poshest street in town. The excellent salads and sandwiches are equally as down to earth. Dig in and watch the world go by.
