5. When comfort meets fine dining – Daddy’s Antique Cafe & Restaurant

So let’s start by saying that I basically want, and need, to try everything on this menu.

Not only is the food on another level, with some of the culinary world’s greatest classics on the plates, all presented beautifully, of course.

As the name suggests, this place is all about antiques, which are all hand-picked and chosen by the owner’s father – who happens to be an avid antique lover with collectables from all over the world – and hence, the name.

They also make their own pasta, which changes the entire eating and food experience, if you’re a foodie like myself. All their pasta dishes are standouts and you have to try their Rotolo Bolognese and Lobster Fra Diavolo – done true Italian style – and their lobsters are imported fresh from the US every Friday.

Other mouth-watering dishes to be tried: Chicken roasted with apple cider; Cheesy truffle fries; Asparagus and pork chop with a buttermilk mash and don’t get me started on the sweets!

Creme brulee french toast, Triple chocolate cheesecake, no just stop it now!

18. Join the happy-go-lucky giraffes for a meal – Skati Island

Personally, I’ve never thought that a giraffe-themed cafe could exist.

Sure there are dog cafes, cat cafes, and all sorts of animal cafes out there, but it’s hard to bring a giraffe cafe to life when it’s impossible to bring the tall-necked creatures into a room.

Nevertheless, Skati Island has managed to solve that problem by letting every patron have fun, and don a giraffe hat to celebrate their love for the beloved animal!

Over here, you’ll always see the staff wearing bright smiles and dressed in their quirky giraffe hats, making your food and drinks fresh right in front of you.

Operating since 2009, the cafe is actually a social enterprise where 100% of its proceeds go to helping Burmese refugees settle into their new lives.

This sweet American cottage-themed cafe looks like it came right out of a movie from the ‘50s, bringing along with it a homely and – as its name implies – cosy feeling.
