It is located on top of the excellent Hotel Charlee with a spectacular view of the city, central location and elegant atmosphere, making it a gem among the rooftops of South America. The sunset from here is beautiful, so try to time your visit for when the sun goes down over Edelene. It covers two levels, the lower one has a luxury aquarium-style pool in the middle.”

Some reviews of Café Zorba

- Review 2: “Excellent pizza and patatas bravas. I was very impressed with the pizza. The dough and ingredients were perfect. The patatas bravas were also great – very well seasoned and served with a generous amount of creamy aioli sauce. There was live music (a very talented duo) on Wednesday when we went and it was packed. Great atmosphere overall! My only criticism would be that there are only 2 vegan pizzas, 1 starter and 1 dessert to choose from.”
