Start the day with muesli and fresh fruits or a full buffet breakfast, then stop by later for a gourmet sandwich or a barbecued duck salad (most main courses are around $3–4), but make sure you leave room for dessert.

To avoid them, head for the second floor and eat at low tables while sitting on floor cushions, or go up to the rooftop terrace on the fourth floor and enjoy views over the Temple of Literature.
