Reviews
Everything was great. We tried several starters and one fish and all tasted really good, almost like a michelin guide tasting menu. The garden, atmosphere and the service was very nice too. Definitely recommend
Hospitality at its finest with the most creative dishes I’ve seen in a while! For someone who travels alone and eats alone often I always pay attention to how people make me feel and the waiter / sommelier made me feel super welcomed, had the best recommendations and even gifted me their signature tot bag at the end! It’s the little things that matter and definitely what sets this place apart from the rest! Loved the peaceful, quiet backyard vibes, the menu suggestions and the creative cuisine altogether! Definitely recommend the duck and the rice if you want to go for « safer food » but still super delicious! The banana and foie gras dessert served with Moscatel is awesome too although quite small and of course hands down the most refreshing ice cream I’ve ever tried: Eucalyptus ice cream! Once again, a big thank you, sad I’m not a local because this would be my favorite local gem to go to! 1000% recommend and hopefully I’ll be back!
Unique menu with fresh ingredients. Very cool atmosphere. Menu came in an envelope which we found gave an interactive touch. Lovely Staff all in all 10/10 experience.
We had an unforgettable experience at this restaurant!! The food was delicious, and our waiter truly made our night! She was lovely and gave us so many great recommendations for things to visit in the city. Thank you for an amazing time.
Incredibly charming place with well curated food, fun atmosphere, dedicated and passionate service. Highlights included the kebab, scallops, reasonable wine selection, bacon and egg custard, and green apple and mint sorbet.
