A charming, light-filled neighbourhood bistro serving a constantly changing menu of seasonal European dishes in a relaxed, village-like setting.
Ordering Strategy
The menu changes daily, so treat specific dishes as indicative of style. Aim for the pasta dishes or large sharing cuts of meat. The terrace is a prime spot on sunny days.
What to order
Market Fish
The kitchen excels at seafood, from 'excellent' roast bream with lentils to 'crunchy-skinned' grilled plaice, always served with fresh, seasonal accompaniments.
Braised rabbit with bacon, pumpkin mash and salmoriglio
A 'tender and delightfully gamy' substantial choice that features a punchy Sicilian garlic and mustard vinaigrette.
Cold roast beef on duck fat toast
An unexpected standout described as 'bang on,' utilizing rich duck fat toast and horseradish for a clever flavor profile.
