Emily Roux and Diego Ferrari's sophisticated neighborhood spot blends French technique with Italian flair in a menu whimsically divided by character traits.
Ordering Strategy
The menu is abstractly divided into traits like 'Curious', 'Subtle', and 'Greedy' rather than courses; ask staff for guidance but generally aim for three dishes per person.
What to order
Celeriac 'Cacio e Pepe'
A playful and satisfying signature dish that uses celeriac ribbons to mimic pasta; critics describe it as a 'bale' of flavour from a 'zen master' of a chef.
Braised Venison Ravioli
A standout from the 'Robust' section of the menu, specifically praised for its excellent texture and deep, earthy flavours.
Marsala Risotto
Though it looks like a 'pink, wobbly blob' on the plate, its taste is described as 'quite breathtaking,' balanced with almondy praline and sticky reduced wine.
Roast Jerusalem Artichokes
Deemed 'utterly delicious' by critics, this dish features a puree of the artichoke innards, hibiscus flower, and a crisp layer of compressed wild rice.

Good to know
The restaurant holds a Michelin star. Service can be formal but the atmosphere is neighborhood-focused. The 'Bourbon biscuit' amuse-bouche is a divisive conversation starter.
