I am fortunate enough to have the opportunity to visit Lingo a number of times each day. Without exception I am always met with a big smile and a friendly welcome. I have tried most of the daily dishes, the soups and the amazing home made desserts and have yet to be disappointed. The coffee, I enjoy also, but with limited foam and they always do this for me without question. Lingo's prices are reasonable given the quality of the food, the excellent service and the great atmosphere! Well done to the entire team there for making the experience so enjoyable!
