Eddy Spaghetti
23 KrugerpleinSmall lovely Italian restaurant.
My favorite restaurant. Run by two sisters who don't hand over the menu to you but come to your table to tell what's being served today. They'll probably sing it for you if you'd ask.

Charming Italian wine bar. Try the red wine made of grapes grown on the slopes of the Sicilian Etna vulcano - it's the best! Dinner is served on Fridays and Saturdays only.
