Maria's Donkey
MAP
( 07-4957 6055; 8 River St; tapas $8-15; noon-10pm Wed & Thu, to midnight Fri-Sun)
Quirky, energetic
riverfront joint dishing up tapas, jugs of sangria, occasional live music and general good
times. Service is erratic, but somehow, that's part of the charm.

Mackay's
best drop is served in an old garage in the quiet end of town. Rifle through the magazine

The
delicious
poffertjes
(Dutch pancakes with traditional toppings) are still going strong at this
very popular corner cafe, but don't be afraid to give the other dishes a go. Top spot for
breakfast.
