Clean. Reliable. Does the job.

Nice view, average food.

Fort Cafe is the kind of place you stumble upon while seeking a quick bite by the seaside, but don’t expect to be blown away. Sure, the ice cream is apparently the best ever according to some, but if you're not a fan of frozen dairy goodness, you might find yourself less enthused. The service can be hit or miss, with some patrons shouting praises while others are left waiting longer than they’d like.

If you fancy a casual meal or just stopping for tea while enjoying the sea view, it’s an okay spot. But don’t go thinking it’s a miracle of culinary arts. The fish and chips are decent, but nothing to write home about. Come for the view, stay for the ice cream, and don't set your expectations too high. Just remember, you might end up wishing you picked a busier cafe instead.
