I had a very disappointing experience at Cala il Ristorante al Lido in Melide.
Since the restaurant is located inside a public lido/swimming area, I assumed it would also serve basic refreshments to guests using the beach facilities. I went in simply to buy a bottle of water. The price list showed a 0.75 L bottle for CHF 8, so I took one from the fridge and went to the bar to pay.
However, I was refused in a rather rude manner and told that I could only buy the bottle if I was sitting in the restaurant. This seems very questionable to me. If a restaurant is located inside a lido, why does it not offer basic takeaway drinks to people using the facilities? Selling bottled water to beach guests should be a very simple and reasonable service.
The situation was frustrating, especially considering there could easily be takeaway options such as plastic bottles or other drinks for guests who simply need water. Unfortunately, the way I was treated left a very negative impression.
