Right on the roof of the Avaton you get to enjoy your meal.
Lots of seating available and the food is truly good.
Came there for brunch and the servers were all very friendly.
We had the same dish and shared another as dessert.
The atmosphere was truly great with fantastic view over the island, shore and other islands.
A must go visit place imo.
