A minimalist, industrial-chic wine bar and restaurant from the P. Franco team, offering inventive Modern European small plates and an extensive natural wine list.
Ordering Strategy
The menu changes daily, so treat it as a grazing experience. Start with the Katsu Sando immediately, then share 3-4 small plates per person. Lean on the staff for natural wine recommendations.
What to order
Katsu Sando
Regarded as a future staple that other restaurants will replicate, this signature dish features a panko-crusted pork cutlet and shredded cabbage between slices of soft white bread with a dollop of hot mustard.
Grilled Dexter Beef
A hearty choice for those seeking substance, served on what critics call a vivid 'death pool' of tart preserved blackcurrant jus and horseradish without unnecessary carb-heavy bulk.
Pizza Fritta
Described as a 'tiny but mighty' mass of plump, fried dough topped with a simple hat of fresh tomato, oregano, and a light touch of mozzarella.
Chocolate with Sea Salt and Coriander Seeds
A dessert that is 'not remotely normal' but works because of the kitchen's confidence, featuring crisp chocolate flecked with salt and aromatic seeds.
