I am totally biased because I used to work here, and this is where we got married, but it is always a classic spot. check out the Asticou garden across the street and also the Thuya garden up the hill (ask for directions!)
**it is worth calling ahead to see if you need to make reservations, depending on how busy it is at the time of your visit**
