Delicious western-style food cafe located inside a hotel. They have an amazing burger and fries set, as well as a full selection of beer, wine and other liquors. The decor and atmosphere is also modern and classy, making it nice for business lunch or even a date. Since it’s inside a hotel the staff are also attentive and professional. But the best part is the food - really, the burgers are great!

We were hotel guests at resol and ate here two times. The main dishes were okay but not perfect. Sides were really good and you can also take them to your room. The staff was very friendly and always tried to help us out.
