Also worth it for

Linguine with shrimp or duck with crispy skin, with the Snickers cake at the end

Why it’s worth visiting

Worth it for the value and for freshly cooked food, praised by returning guests. The service is uneven, flagged by a guest who was happy with the food.

The story

The Moscova boulevard location of the Lumen Craft Gastro bistro, open daily from 9:00 to 22:00. A guest who has come several times says the food is consistently good, the coffee is good, and the pastries are worth trying, especially the Snickers cake, which they call their favourite. Another, on a first visit, describes the space as beautiful, bright and welcoming, with a sense of thoughtfulness, and praises the linguine with shrimp and the duck, which they describe as tender with crispy skin. The burger, called phenomenal by one guest, also comes up, as does the price, considered very good for the quality. The staff are described as polite and attentive without being intrusive. There is one notable exception, in the very review that praises the food: on a second visit, the guest says they got very poor service from a waiter who smelled of cigarettes, swore, did not know the menu, could not recommend a beer and was annoyed by any question.
