Food Scene
One of my favorite places. Excellent food, many vegetarian choices, reasonable prices, probably the only non-smoking restaurant in town. Cons: very small and usually packed, no view. Closed in summer.

Fish restaurant, a favorite for university students, thanks to the reasonable prices and good location (especially recommended when the weather is good enough for outdoor seating).

Great food - very laid back and popular with locals. Best in the summer. Get there early to make sure you get a table and decent service - but be prepared for long waits and a bit of an attitude.
