About

The Bishop's Table is a cafe with a stunning location in the Bishop's Palace grounds. It is a popular spot for a break, but service is frequently criticized for being slow and disorganized. While the food is generally considered decent, there are many reports of poor cleanliness and inconsistent quality. It is a great place for the view, but don't expect a high-end dining experience.
