One diner calls the wine list excellent, and cocktails are part of the drinks offering. Another visitor started with a lychee cocktail and a macadamia espresso cocktail before dinner. Coffee drinkers have not written about the coffee, so it is best to ask staff what is available.

Bread and pastry from the same kitchen

Grana is described as a restaurant and bakery, so housemade bread and pastries run alongside the dinner menu. Two visitors mention the focaccia, one of them as a standout with parmesan custard. Pastry shows up on the dessert list as well, with a layered dish and a sorbet. Visitors who want something lighter than a full meal can come for bread and a drink, though the room is best suited to a sit-down visit.
