Mirror
An elegant restaurant of that kind which became very popular in the last time. Therefore it is recommendable to make an appointment even for lunch. The interior is decorated, as the name already indicates, with mirrors and dark illumination. Cosy couches in a dark fabric match perfectly with the rest of the decoration. The menu is rich in Italian specialities, big portions of salads, pizzas, risottos, crepes and meat specialities as well as yummy deserts. Besides they have a wide choice of French, Italian and Turkish wines. The evening is usually filled with chill-out, jazz groove or acid jazz music. A nice place to have a night out for dinner!
