An intimate deli-by-day transforms into a candlelit, lively wine bar by night, serving generous European small plates in a tiny corner space.
Ordering Strategy
The space is tiny (<20 covers), so anticipate an intimate setting. Despite the 'small plates' label, portions like the cured meats are huge, so order gradually.
What to order
Tomato and Seaweed Focaccia
So delicious that reviewers 'finished it and ordered another straight away,' describing it as 'insanely good.'
Mortadella
Executive Chef Lasse Petersen serves 'mountains of cured meat' that defy the small-plate label and provide a substantial, filling option.
Marmalade Martini
A 'faultlessly executed' cocktail that offers a drier, floral take on the classic, serving as a masterclass in mixology.
Crushed peas, goat’s curd and marjoram tartine
Cited by critics as 'one of our favourites' for its balance of fresh, seasonal ingredients and expert execution.
Lulu’s chocolate and wild pepper pot
A 'decadent' dessert on the ever-changing menu that provides a unique, spicy-sweet conclusion to the meal.
