We had the pleasure of visiting Wilton Locks Café and were absolutely delighted with the experience. Arriving at 14:00, we weren’t sure if hot food was still available, but the owner, Mario, greeted us with a warm smile and assured us it was no problem at all. His kindness and welcoming nature made us feel right at home. The breakfast was freshly prepared and absolutely delicious—clearly made with care and high-quality ingredients. It’s rare to find places where both the food and service are exceptional, but this café exceeded our expectations. This was our first visit, but it certainly won’t be our last. Highly recommended!

Nice cafe by the marina. Not many tables and a bit tight but wouldn’t let that put you off
