2 km from the house (25min walk) - this is a special suggestion because it's very very local and it's a neighbourhood initiative from and for people living here and vurnable people. You wont find a tourist there ;) I love the place, it's peacefull and quiet, all with volunteers. I love the lunches. you can lunch there for 10 euro (only one dish, meat and veggie version). they don't have a website but you can find them on facebook for opening hours and the menu (posted about an hour before they serve lunch ;) )
