Artisan

Artisan

Philip Modica opened this seafront daytime café on Valentine’s Day 2004 - and has since received critical acclaim in many national newspapers. Paintings by local artists adorn the walls, while freshly baked sponge cakes sit on doilies, waiting to be snapped up. Philip insists on cooking all the food freshly to order, so it can be busy at peak periods. But it’s well worth it! Be sure to check out the ‘specials’ board, too. At the back, check out the deli, stocking a range of local and Mediterranean produce, as well as specially blended Artisan teas and coffees.
