The light and bright space that is now the Life Grand Café started life as a Post Office in 1902. The setting is comfortable and chic, and the interior design intriguing, modern, but respectful of the historical elements contained in the building. The delicious food is Mediterranean-inspired, and the menu contains many comfortable classics – often with a twist. The food is prepared simply, and a wood-burning oven is in use in the kitchen. There is a salad bar, a crudo bar, a coffee bar and a cocktail bar: the latter serves a wide variety of innovative and interesting combinations. The treed terrace has a stellar view of the working harbour, and is the ideal place to meet friends, have dinner, or just pop in for a drink.
