• National Bar [S] Expect the service to be a little slow when it's busy but if you're not in a hurry and are out for a good time the great atmosphere makes the wait worthwhile. The food is great and they keep changing the menu every month. During the summer they have a great terrace and in the winter it's the best place to go. It's located just outside the border of the main square on the right side if you're facing the lake.

• Charlies [S] Just outside the main town square. During the summer they open the bar right on the border of the lake, it's the best place in town to relax and have a couple of beers until sunset.
