From here you have a good view over the small bay, can see much of the illuminated city and, towering above everything, has the Mc Craig Tower in the background.

You have to decide for yourself whether it's worth it. The four chocolates I bought to eat immediately still had to go in a bag; they wouldn't put them on a napkin or even a plate. The café doesn't have any dishes, and the dark chocolate was also prepared in a disposable cup. The taste of the chocolates and chocolate was okay, but not amazing. All in all, I wouldn't go there again.
