A cramped, buzzy, and brilliant wine-bar-meets-bakery from the team behind Lyle's, known for exceptional baking and inventive small plates.
Ordering Strategy
It is essential to order the bread basket immediately. Plates come out when ready. Save room for the brown butter cakes.
What to order
Lardo & Anchovy Toast
An early standout described as a 'salt-on-salt' dish that defines the restaurant's inspiration from the pintxo bars of San Sebastian.
Clam Flatbread
Topped with vin jaune and wild garlic, the brineyness of the chewy clams is described as 'tailor made for the gooey cheese.'
Brown Butter Cakes
Already a 'patisserie legend in its own lifetime,' these are chewy and dense with a caramelised toffee-like richness derived from 'weaponised brown sugar.'
Raw Red Prawns
Called a 'dish of unquantifiable joy,' featuring plump, sticky raw bodies and grilled heads that impart a 'delicate milky quality.'
