The mushroom soup is good and comforting. Had large pieces of mushroom served with a slice of toasted bread. The tomato and caper dip was so so. Felt like it had little cheese so i wont order this again. Service was ok.

We opted to have dessert and hot chocolate at Mary Grace – Podium. They serve classic dessert options both local and internal which suited our cravings exactly. We ordered the bread pudding ala mode (with ice cream for those who aren’t familiar) and Limone Santi together with the classic Mary Grace hot chocolate. Both of them tasted divine and couldn’t stop ourselves from getting another bite. The bread pudding was served hot and together with the sweetness and coldness of the ice cream made it a wonderful dessert combination. On the other hand, the Limone santi was decadent, rich but not overly sour. Every bite teased my palate and it was definitely a dessert that I was willing to eat the whole day.

Ordered cheese roll for takeaway . According to shops it’s one of their best seller . It’s a butter roll brushed with butter and sugar on top and when You bite into the soft roll you get to taste the hard cheese .

Typical Mary Grace branch. Had breakfast here & I really love their all day breakfast selection. Had the tocino with coffee. Food is good and consistent with all their other branches. Service here was pretty okay. It helped that we were there early & there were only a few customers.
