After few recommendations from friends, we finally went for lunch. 3 people from Switzerland with habits of fine and gastronomic restaurants. The Old Synagogue didn't disappoint. We all had different meals, all of them had descent serve and their own sauce, elaborated and delicious. Every single meal was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. We'll be back soon to try the other meals. 👌
