Ordering Strategy
The menu changes weekly and dishes are substantial rather than tapas-style 'small plates', though sharing is welcomed. Lunch offers lighter options like sandwiches and tarts.
What to order
Seasonal Terrine
A staple of the Alsatian-inspired menu, these are described as 'packed with flavour' and highlight the kitchen's focus on 'simple' and 'ingredient-led' cooking.
Schnitzel
A standout of the 'hearty, comfort-focused' menu, this dish satisfies the restaurant's 'no small plates' philosophy with a 'filling' and traditional preparation.
Low-intervention Wine
Curated by sommelier Honey Spencer, the wine list is a 'comprehensive yet concise' collection of rarities from small European producers that serves as a 'refreshing respite' from standard offerings.
Nectarine Spritz
Featured in a cocktail selection described as 'small and classic yet also creative,' this drink highlights the kitchen's commitment to using fruits at their seasonal peak.
