The Wish I Was Here star had a book at hand, seemingly ready to relax with her reading material at the restaurant. 

Her novel of choice was When The Cypress Whispers by Yvette Manessis Corporon, about an American woman who returns to her grandmother's home in Greece and discovers her World War Two secret. Kate is known to be a big fan of Greece and holidays there every year.

Kate's outing followed an appearance on morning programme, the Today show. 

'What a fun morning supporting our episode of #RunningWild @todayshow with the man himself! @beargrylls A little different from the great outdoors but I was pleased to have a little concealer and mascara for this adventure,' the actress wrote on Instagram with a selfie of her and Bear Grylls, 41.
